It has been rumored for months now, but Apple Corps LTD., MTV and Harmonix finally announced the long awaited “The Beatles: Rock Band” game earlier today. This is the first time ever that Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison have given their blessings for a Beatles based videogame. Although not much is known at the moment, a few details are emerging.

The game will take players on a journey from the Beatles’ beginning through their astronomical rise to superstardom. A song list isn’t available yet, but with a catalog the size of the Fab Four’s, there will certainly be no shortage of songs to choose from. Giles Martin, son of Sir George Martin, the Beatles long-time producer, will serve as the music producer on the game.

As for the the instrument kit, will it include a replica of McCartney’s Hofner Bass? Lennon’s Rickenbacker? Will the drum kit have the Beatles logo printed on the front? Nobody knows just yet, but we’re eager to find out!

If you already have Rock Band and don’t want to shell out for the whole kit again, you can always just pick up the software alone. “The Beatles: Rock Band” will be out in September 9th for the Xbox360, PS3 & Wii. Check back here for more information as it comes out!
