You know you’ve made it big when you’re placed in the same category as the Beatles.
Green Day has been featured in the latest Rock Band video game, but fans will have something new to obsess over.
Next year, the band is getting its own video game, Green Day: Rock Band!
During Saturday’s 2009 Spike Video Game Awards, game-maker Harmonix announced the exciting news for all Green Day fans.
Billie Joe Armstrong added the band’s approval in a recent statement, saying:
“We’ve worked with the ‘Rock Band’ team in the past year to enable our fans to play tracks from 21st Century Breakdown, and we’re excited to now be working on a game spanning our entire career. We want people to fire this up, choose their favorite Green Day tracks and play along with us as ‘Rock Band’ avatars so they can feel what it’s like to perform on stage as Green Day.”
Nice!
Warner Bros. Records CEO, Tom Whalley, added that “This game will appeal to fans of all ages, including those who love their recent bestselling albums and those who’ve loved Green Day throughout their long, incredible career.”
The video game will allow users to play Green Day’s songs, view their artwork, and perform at some of their favorite venues.
Will you be buying this next year?
