Rock Band Blitz Announced For PSN/XBLA

Rock Band Blitz Announced For PSN/XBLA

None

Yesterday, Harmonix revealed a brand new rhythm game called Rock Band Blitz. The game will be a downloadable title for the XBLA/PSN and will do away with all your Rock Band instruments. Instead, the gameplay will be similar to portable title Rock Band Unplugged. The game will be completely controlled with a traditional controller, and will task you with switching between instruments as your own one-man band.

The title will launch with twenty-five tracks. However, players will also have access to any Rock Band DLC that they may have purchased over the year. The game also has the Rock Band Music Store integrated in to allow you to purchase even more DLC. That means there are potentially over 3,500 tracks to strum your fingers off to.

As an additional bonus, the twenty five tracks that come with the game will act as DLC content for Rock Band 3. By simply purchasing the game the songs will be added to the Rock Band 3 track list.



No details on the pricing or release date of the game have been announced, but it’s safe to say that the game won’t cost that much. After all, why would you want to play Rock Band with a controller if you already have all the plastic instruments lying around? If anything, this will simply be a cheap diversion that is primarily bought for the 25 DLC songs that come with it, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
