Green Day: Rock Band coming this year?

Green Day: Rock Band will be released by the end of the year.

That’s according to the US ‘nu-punk’ band’s lead singer and songsmith Billy Joe Armstrong, who revealed the news in a radio interview yesterday.

A fan called in to ask Armstrong about the possibility of a standalone Green Day game on US rock radio KROQ.

According to Kotaku, he replied:

Yeah. We’re doing a whole Green Day Rock Band, uh…”

When asked when the game would be released, he added:

I’m not sure…soon. Like I think not this week, but this year soon…by the end of this year.”

MCV has contacted Rock Band’s UK publisher EA for response.
