What year was Lego Rock Band released?

LEGO Rock Band was released in 2009. The console versions launched in the United States on November 3, 2009, for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii, while a separate Nintendo DS version was also produced.

The game combined Harmonix’s Rock Band music gameplay with Traveller’s Tales’ family-friendly LEGO style. TT Fusion handled the main console development in partnership with Harmonix, and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment published the title. Players formed a LEGO band, performed songs with instrument controllers, and progressed through a story-driven career.

Its soundtrack was designed to be suitable for younger players while still featuring well-known rock artists. Songs included music associated with Queen, David Bowie, Blur, The Police, Pink, Bon Jovi, and Elton John. Iggy Pop also provided tutorial narration and appeared as a LEGO-styled character.

A frequent confusion is treating LEGO Rock Band as a later spin-off from Rock Band 3. It actually arrived in 2009, during the peak of the rhythm-game era, and was the fifth console installment in the broader Rock Band series. Its family-oriented presentation distinguished it from the mainline games.
