Green Day: Rock Band Release Date

Harmonix and MTV Games have announced the release date for Green Day: Rock Band.  Green Day: Rock Band allows players to step onto the stage and into the shoes of Green Day, the multi platinum, Grammy award winning band that jump started the punk-pop revival and has continued to pave the way for American rock music into the 21st century.  Taking on the likeness of Green Day members Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool, players progress through the story and history of Green Day, gaining access into the band’s media vault, where they can unlock more than 100 collectible images, and more than 40 minutes of rare and unreleased video from interviews, outtakes and performances.

Featuring the three-part vocal harmony technology Harmonix introduced with the award winning The Beatles: Rock Band, Green Day: Rock Band gives players access to a setlist of 47 tracks that span the band’s career including “Brain Stew,” “Jaded,” “Hitchin’ a Ride,” “American Idiot,” “Wake Me Up When September Ends” and “Boulevard of Broken Dreams.”  In addition, the six Green Day tracks already available in the Rock Band Music Store as downloadable content can be played in Green Day: Rock Band with added vocal harmonies, unique performance visuals and exclusive archival material.

The game will feature normal retail pricing along with a special $69.99 edition that will include special packaging, export and six Green Day DLC tracks.  Green Day: Rock Band is set to hit store shelves on June 8, 2010.
