Harmonix and MTV Games, along with marketing and distribution partner Electronic Arts, are taking the music platform to the next level this September with the release of Rock Band 2. Rock Band 2 builds upon its co-operative band gameplay, multiple instruments, online multiplayer experience, an unrivaled offering of downloadable content and raises the bar by delivering an entirely new level of depth, connectivity, authenticity and features including:

• Backwards compatibility with Rock Band downloadable music content. All previously purchased tracks will immediately load into your Rock Band 2 song list. No need to re-purchase or re-download.
• Major new and dynamic online modes that will connect the entire Rock Band community in more ways than ever before both locally and globally.
• More variety of instrument choices than ever before with new and improved drum and guitar peripherals, enhanced functionality and innovative new designs - all fully compatible with the original Rock Band instruments.

Rock Band 2 will make its debut on Xbox 360 this September and have an exclusive launch window in North America. Rock Band 2 will be available for additional platforms later this year. More details regarding features and music for Rock Band 2 will be revealed at the 2008 E3 Media & Business Summit.
