Rock Band 2: Confirmed, First Details
Posted on 30 June 2008 by Erik
IGN is reporting that Rock Band 2 is in fact in development (duh), and will be released this September for Xbox 360, with other platforms will follow later in the year. It’s interesting to note that the release will be made a month prior to Guitar Hero: World Tour.
DLC released for the original Rock Band will be compatible with Rock Band 2, and DLC released after 2 comes out will continue to work with the original game. Downloadable songs apparently work differently in Rock Band 2, with lead designer Dan Teasdale teasing that Harmonix has “added some cool new features that let you play your DLC in different ways.”
Improvements in Rock Band 2 include easier party-play setup, better quality instruments, and an expanded World Tour campaign mode among other features. Teasdale continued:
“Rock Band 2 takes all the lessons we’ve learned from making a multi-instrument music game, addresses them, then adds some amazing new ways for you to experience your music library that have never been seen in a music game before. We’ve been scouring forums and parties everywhere for what people liked and didn’t like, and I’m pretty confident we’ve addressed everything I’ve heard people ask for.”
