The Fab Four is getting their own Harmonix franchise?
Forget everything you know…from news that was reported only hours ago…
Last night, the internets were set all ablaze by a vague announcement via the Wall Street Journal that the remaining Beatles had licensed some of their music to Harmonix for use in Rock Band. This is only half true, it turns out.
The band has licensed their music to Harmonix – but for a completely new franchise.
This morning, a Harmonix rep put things in black and white:
“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…This game will be a celebration of the Beatles undeniable legacy.”
That’s about all we can tell you at the moment as Harmonix is keeping the info close to their chest. While we had hoped to be rocking out to the Beatles back catalog and specifically some select Abby Road and Revolver tracks via Rock Band, this is still a behemoth accomplishment for Harmonix & MTV Games.
