Bruce Springsteen To Make His Guitar Hero Debut
Joining the ranks of The Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix and the Eagles, Bruce Springsteen is slated to lend his formidable talents to the Guitar Hero DLC library.
Springsteen will make his video-game debut by contributing something old and something new to Guitar Hero World Tour. The two-song track pack will coincide with the January 27 release of his newest album “Working on a Dream.” Springsteen’s classic “Born to Run” and a track from his upcoming album titled “My Lucky Day” are included in the pack.
“Bruce Springsteen has been a defining force in Rock ‘n Roll and we are incredibly excited to have him make his video game debut with Guitar Hero World Tour,” said Robert Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard.
As mentioned above, the two song track pack will be available to download on January 27 via the Xbox Live Marketplace, PlayStation Store and Nintendo Wii (as singles). The best part of the track pack is that it will be downloadable for free – for a limited amount of time. The deal won’t last long, only boasting the free price point till February 5, when it will sell for 320 Microsoft Points, 200 Wii Points per track, and $3.99 on the PlayStation 3.
Led Zeplin, Pink Floyd and a handful of other talented artists are still holding out when it comes to contributing to the music/video game space. With the Beetles and other classic artist now on board, it will be interesting to see how long they are able to fend off propositions.
