A sequel to Rock Band will be released first for the Xbox 360 in September, according to publisher MTV Games and developer Harmonix.
Rock Band 2 will feature a new variety of instruments, online modes and songs, and will allow players to import their previously purchased Rock Band tunes.
Rock Band 2 will be available for Sony’s PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2 as well as Nintendo’s Wii later in the year. The second edition will feature over 80 songs including more female-fronted bands.
If you’ve downloaded a song for Rock Band it will immediately be loaded into your Rock Band 2 song list without needing to be repurchased or re-downloaded. It’s the first time such retroactive compatibility has been introduced in a music game.
Harmonix said that was the No. 1 most-requested feature from fans.
