The Beatles and MTV Games team up for a new game (not Rock Band!)
MTV Games and The Beatles have teamed up to create a new video game, the band's first foray into gaming. Surprising many, this new game from Harmonix will not be an extension of their popular Rock Band series. "This game is not just a Rock Band song expansion pack. It's much much more than that."
"This will not be a Rock Band game," a Harmonix rep clarified. Players will be able to see new kinds of gameplay unseen from Harmonix in this new game. There's no announcements on what kind of peripheral support the upcoming game will feature. There will be a strong focus on visual imagery -- we're expecting a "Yellow Submarine" type experience. It's planned for a holiday release ... next year.
"By presenting their music and artistry through the creative filter of a groundbreaking video game, we are giving legions of fans and music lovers all over the world a profound, new way to experience The Beatles," said Alex Rigopulos, CEO and Co-Founder, Harmonix. "This game will be a celebration of the Beatles undeniable legacy."
