President and CEO of Viacom Philippe Dauman has announced that Rock Band 3 will be making its release this holiday season, and Kotaku reports him saying the title will “innovate and revolutionize the music genre”.

Over the past year or so music game sales have been steadily declining, mainly because nothing innovative has really reached the market, Im hoping that Rock Band 3 will bring something a little different.

The Rock Band Facebook page said this regarding the announcement of the games release date,

Harmonix is developing Rock Band 3 for worldwide release this holiday season! The game, which will be published by MTV Games and distributed by Electronic Arts, will innovate and revolutionize the music genre once again, just as Harmonix did with the original Rock Band, Rock Band 2 and The Beatles: Rock Band. Stay tuned for more details!
