Are The Beatles headed to Rock Band or Guitar Hero soon? It’s certainly starting to look like it.
According to a recent report on the Financial Times website tonight, representatives for The Beatles are currently in talks with both MTV Games and Activision regarding a Beatles-themed game for either Guitar Hero or Rock Band.
It’s not a done deal, however. Apple Corps, overseers of the band’s business interests, as well as EMI, owners of the band’s master recordings, would have to sign off on any move that’s made.
“We are talking to virtually every major rock artist all the time about ways we might get them involved in Rock Band,” according to MTV. Activision had no comment.
Earlier this year, music from the band was featured on an episode of American Idol. As a result, the exposure led to a number of inquiries to use the band’s music. This would be an extremely huge win for whatever side winds up getting them, so it’s definitely something to keep tabs on.
