Beatles to add Abbey Road to Rock Band
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 20 October 2009
The Beatles’ ‘Abbey Road’ album will be available in full for the band’s ‘Rock Band’ game this week, the gaming venture’s makers, Harmonix and MTV Games, have announced.
Six of the more popular songs from the album, including ‘Come Together’, have been available in the game since launch. The rest will reach the XBox and Wii versions of the game today, with Playstation 3 users brought up to speed on Thursday.
More of the Beatles’ catalogue will make it into the game in the coming months, with ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ coming in November, and ‘Rubber Soul’ following in December.
In related news, although the new version of ‘Guitar Hero’ outperformed the Beatles ‘Rock Band’ game in some gaming charts on the week of their release, NPD report that the Beatles enterprise was, in the end, the best selling video game in September.
