Another major artist Rock Band in the works


The never ending cash cow that is Rock Band appears to have another one already in the works. Our sources tell us that Harmonix is already working on Rock Back 3, and in addition they are already looking at doing another “major artist” version of Rock Band, as well.

We have no clue how you follow up The Beatles: Rock Band with another “major artist,” and is this really something that they should even consider doing? It would have to be a larger than life title in order to live up to the tradition already set forth in the upcoming release of the Beatles version. About the only one we can think of at the moment who might be worthy of its own version of Rock Band might be Led Zeppelin.

While the trend continues to be popular for music rhythm titles, one has to wonder how much actual mileage is left in these music titles, as the continued releases of both new versions and more downloadable content has some already screaming that they are victims of overload.

While there is no question that the releases will continue in the short term, maybe they need to take some time off and let the market breathe a little bit before attempting to saturate it with more releases.
