Alex Rigopolous, Harmonix co-founder and CEO, announced today that there are no plans for a third Rock Band game in 2009:
We’ve actually made a choice to break out of the annual release cycle for Rock Band this year. [...] [This is] partly because the annual cycle places limits on the choices you can make as a developer. We’re trying to take a long term view.
He also added that part of the reason for the delay was to give themselves time to work on the Beatles music game that was announced last year. Speaking of which, Rigopolous also expressed interest in making a Led Zeppelin music game, if possible. When asked about the possible addition of the long-rumoured keyboad instrument, Rigopolous answered with a “maybe.”
