Multiple news sources are reporting that the next release of Harmonix's ROCK BAND will feature music from The Beatles.
VARIETY reports that Beatles management said Thursday that a version of the game with Beatles music will debut in September, along with accompanying instruments modeled after the ones used by George, Paul, John and Ringo.
Longtime Beatles producer George Martin's son, Giles Martin, is developing the game. The band's management, Apple Corps Ltd, is partnering on the project with MTV Games and Harmonix.
The Beatles broke up more than 40 years ago, and have just two surviving members, but have been slow to jump on new technology. Due to lingering legal tussles with the similarly named Apple, the band's music is still not for sale on iTunes.
