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.”

While it seems like talks have begun to get the Beatles into either one of the reigning guitar games out there, you might have to wait a little bit longer before being able to use a violin or cello bow on that fake Strat/SG for “Dazed and Confused.”

Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page has turned down offers from both MTV and Activision for access to the band’s master recordings. He’s basically not comfortable granting that access to outsiders. According to Page’s manager:

It ain’t about the money.

No Zeppelin this time around. Maybe in the distant future.
