Rock Band 2 officially announced

reported Jun 30, 2008 by Brian Ambrozy

Harmonix, MTV Games, and Electronic Arts announced Rock Band 2 today. Set for release in September on the Xbox 360 with the PS3 version "to follow", one of the most exciting features appears to be full compatibility with all the content you downloaded for Rock Band 1. The press release also cites "improved guitar and drum peripherals" while maintaining backwards compatibility with the old instruments.

Rock Band is certainly a big hit at ICHQ and at Icrontic events. Rock Band 2 is sure to be in our future somewhere.
