Rocksmith 2014 Announced

Ubisoft today announced the new Rocksmith 2014 Edition, the next installment of the Rocksmith brand. Rocksmith 2014 Edition will be available in October, and allows players to plug any real guitar or bass directly into their Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 or PC.

With a completely redesigned interface and all-new features, Rocksmith 2014 Edition is tailored to better teach the key elements of guitar playing, and to make learning faster and more fun than any other method. A new fully customizable “Riff Repeater” lets players select any section of a song they want to play, and adjust the difficulty and speed on-the-fly. A new “Master Mode” makes playing by memory more approachable and new “Guitarcade” mini-games have been created to hone specific guitar skills. With these flexible and deep practice tools, it’s never been easier for players to play their favourite songs on guitar or bass.

Rocksmith 2014 Edition also features a new track list with more than 50 hit tracks, including “Stone” by Alice In Chains, “Walk This Way” by Aerosmith, “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door” by Bob Dylan, “The Chimera” by The Smashing Pumpkins, “Don’t Look Back In Anger” by Oasis, “Ultra Soul” by B’z, a famous pop-rock Japanese band. Many more hits will be announced in the coming months.
