Want more Rock Band?  It doesn’t matter what your answer is actually because you’re getting it anyway.  Harmonix, MTV and EA announced Rock Band 2 is set to release this September for the Xbox 360 and other platforms.  Yes, that’s this September as in 3 month from now.  At least Xbox 360 owners will enjoy a few months of exclusive bliss although I’m not sure who really cares.  Rock Band 2 won’t hit other platforms until after the Xbox 360’s release.

“Microsoft has been a great partner throughout the launch of Rock Band in the last year and their continued support is instrumental in supporting the more advanced features and cross title compatibility we will have in Rock Band 2,” a Harmonix representative told IGN. “Of course, our goal is to make Rock Band 2 accessible to all and we look forward to bringing Rock Band 2 to all relevant platforms later this year.”

I know this was no surprise to anyone but I’m actually surprised it’s going to be released so soon.  I hadn’t heard anything until now and just like magic, it’s only 3 months away.  Harmonix says that things have been vastly improved.  The good thing for Rock Band DLC buyers is that it’ll all be playable with Rock Band 2.  And there are even hints at cross-platform sharing?

Prepare for a true battle of the bands this year with Guitar Hero: World Tour and Rock Band 2.  Get ready to rock (some more).  Which will you choose?
