In might have only just arrived in England, but Harmonix has confirmed that the innovative (and expensive) Rock Band will be getting a sequel in just a couple of months. In the US, at least.

Those who've spent £180 on the game will be relieved to know current downloadable content and equipment will all be compatible with the new game.

However, updated peripherals will be available in a bundle pack. Harmonix isn't telling what 'updated' means just yet. That makes us fearful.

The package will be exclusive to the Xbox 360 for a while too. When IGN asked why, a Harmonix representative said: "Microsoft has been a great partner throughout the launch of Rock Band in the last year and their continued support is instrumental in supporting the more advanced features and cross title compatibility we will have in Rock Band 2.

"Of course, our goal is to make Rock Band 2 accessible to all and we look forward to bringing Rock Band 2 to all relevant platforms later this year."

That is, of course, only if you live in America. For the rest of the world, we expect Rock Band 2 might not even make this decade (Australia doesn't get the first one until Christmas this year).
