No longer a mere rumour as all of the above parties have just announced LEGO Rock Band officially.

LEGO Rock Band is now officially on the way. A mere rumour months ago, you’ll now be able to “Build a Band and Rock the Universe" as the weirdest mash-up of franchises is due to hit later this year. The game will be heading to the Wii, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 as well the Nintendo DS. It marks the first time the Rock Band franchise has been on Nintendo’s portable console.

Like LEGO itself, the games funny, customisable and you’ll be able to build your own band and entourage, including roadies, managers and crew. LEGO Rock Band supports Rock Band instruments, as well as “other” game controllers, which we assume will mean Guitar Hero ones. The game is being focused as a more family orientated game with a track list to suit. The follow tracks have been revealed so far;

Blur: “Song 2”

Carl Douglas:"Kung Fu Fighting”

Europe: “The Final Countdown”

Good Charlotte: “Boys and Girls”

Pink: “So What”

All the companies involved have glorious things to say about each other. We’ll have more on the game as it is revealed.

“LEGO Rock Band combines two compelling properties and creates an experience that family members of all ages will enjoy playing together as a group,” said Tom Stone, Managing Director, TT Games. “Harmonix and MTV Games are the world experts in music gameplay, and we’re genuinely thrilled to bring the unique and humor-filled LEGO experience to their Rock Band universe.” “We’re thrilled to offer another LEGO branded gaming experience that will deliver humorous and social play for families and friends,” said Henrik Taudorf Lorensen, Vice President, the LEGO Group. “LEGO Rock Band is built around the same values of imagination and family-friendly creative role play that is present in other LEGO videogames. It will deliver innovative new elements of game play that complement the fun of the Rock Band experience.” “Rock Band is a social game experience that crosses every generation and every genre of rock,” said Bob Picunko, Senior Vice President of Electronic Games for MTV Games. “Harmonix and MTV Games are big fans of the LEGO game franchise and excited to work with TT Games to develop a new take on Rock Band that focuses on great music and LEGO humor that’s fun for the whole family.”
