Rock Band not coming to Europe and Australia until 2008

17 August 2007

An Electronic Arts UK representative said: “We don’t think Rock Band will be released in Q4 2007.” So no Rock Band for Europe this year, the same delay is true for Australia and New Zealand, according to Gamespot.

This news arrived shortly after Red Octane co-founder and CEO Charles Huang said: “To come straight out of the gate globally — even on two platforms — is extremely challenging, especially with all the technology that’s involved with Xbox 360 and PS3.”

Meanwhile Rock Band has an American release date on November 20th 2007 for Xbox 360 and PS3, with a Wii version following later in 2008.

2008 UPDATE: Rock Band European release date is 22 May (Xbox 360 only).
