Rock Band Blitz takes the PSN stage Aug. 28, tours XBLA Aug. 29
Tune up your ... normal controller, because Rock Band Blitz is on the way in just over a month. Harmonix's downloadable music game will be out on PSN August 28, and on XBLA a day later, for $14.99 or its Xbox fun money equivalent.
The game works with all your exported Rock Band tracks and DLC, but it'll come packed with 20 songs of its own. Today, Harmonix revealed four more of those: Avenged Sevenfold's "So Far Away," Kool & The Gang's "Jungle Boogie," My Chemical Romance's "Sing," and Fun's "We Are Young." You know, the song that's on the radio between plays of that Gotye song.
All Blitz songs work in Rock Band 3, so that $15 is also an excuse to get the band back together.
