Harmonix coming back with Rock Band 3

Harmonix coming back with Rock Band 3

After a year long break from its annual franchise to make The Beatles: Rock Band it seems Harmonix Music is coming back for its third official instalment.

In an interview with MCV, Head of MTV Games Scott Guthrie stated and explained what the company plans to do while moving forward with the series. He also stated that there will probably be both a official Rock Band and a artist game in 2010.

"We're exploring both – and possibly will do both," he said. "The Harmonix development team are working on what is effectively the next game, or 'Rock Band 3'.

"We aren't standing still – we will keep moving into new areas and look at new technologies that our platform holder partners are also developing, such as Project Natal from Microsoft," Guthrie added. "We're working with them to pull some things together. So it's pretty exciting time for the future of our music game business."

Good find Dblacksqui!
Looking forward to RB3. Another NTSC import, so that it's still compatible with my existing DLC library (assuming it's still backward compatible).
