Rocksmith Gets Release Dates In Europe, Australia and New Zealand

Although Rocksmith came out last year, the new guitar-based video game was only released in North America. Now, Ubisoft has announced that the game will be coming out to gamers living in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

Rocksmith will be out September 13th for the PS3 and Xbox 360. A PC version will be released shortly after this. This version of Rocksmith will include the original game seen in the North American version but will also have some extras of its own.

“Rocksmith has already seduced hundreds of thousands in North America and we are very proud to bring this game into our territories”, said Geoffroy Sardin, Chief Marketing and Sales Officer at Ubisoft EMEA. “The main reason for this success is that Rocksmith offers so much more than previous guitar games: the possibility to actually master a real instrument.”

Well that pretty much settles it for me I will be purchasing the American PS3 version and setting up a US PSN or whatever its called. This is another example of the dark ages that the digital media publishers are in with a release coming nearly a whole year after it came out in the US. I understand that there may have been some legal problems initially but they should have just made a huge announcement that its available now if they’ve sorted the legal problems out (I’d be surprised if the legal proceedings hadn’t resolved that they would be announcing a release in September, but then I don’t know how the legal system works in the US).
