Harmonix, MTV Games and EA have announced that Rock Band Unplugged will be released exclusively on PSP in June.
“Rock Band Unplugged reinvents band gameplay while staying true to the authentic feel of the Rock Band console games,” said Bob Picunko, Senior Vice President of Electronic Games for MTV Games. “Harmonix delivers innovation with every game they develop and we are excited to continue our long-list of industry firsts with the Rock Band in-game wireless music store on the PSP system.”
There are no peripherals in Rock Band Unplugged, with the player’s hands becoming the instruments in a handheld band experience. Players will be able to take direct control of the lead/bass guitars, drums and vocals. Additionally, players can expect a rich Rock Band experience with fully functional modes like World Tour, Band Survival and Warm Up, plus a robust character creator.
The game will offer over 40 master recordings including nine exclusive new songs that will debut on the PSP system before being offered as downloadable content for console versions of Rock Band. The game will also feature the first-fully featured in-game store for downloadable content on PSP.
The following tracks will launch exclusively through Rock Band Unplugged on the PSP system for a limited time before becoming downloadable content for the other platforms:
– 3 Doors Down – “Kryptonite”
– AFI – “Miss Murder”
– Alice in Chains – “Would?”
– Audioslave – “Gasoline”
– Black Tide – “Show Me the Way”
– Blink 182 – “What’s My Age Again”
– Freezepop – “Less Talk More Rokk”
– Jackson 5 – “ABC”
– Tenacious D – “Rock Your Socks”
The game will be available in North America and Europe beginning June 9, 2009.
