Rocksmith+ surprises us with content drop from Linkin Park, Twisted Sister, The Cure, Otis Redding and more!

Hello Rocksmith fans!

Well, we had seen big changes were coming to the music library and last night Rocksmith+ certainly delivered 50 of them…

First there was a video posted on YouTube/Twitter/Facebook that was promptly taken down (it probably showed a bit too much). We got the screenshots though 🏃‍♂️📸

One thing that these songs all seem to have in common?

Yes, it seems like Rocksmith+ has reached an agreement with Warner Music Group in some capacity, which is good news because it leads to a content list like this!

UPDATE (Press Release):

Rocksmith+ has announced a new partnership with Warner Music Group (Nasdaq: WMG), to bring even more popular artists to the music-learning service, such as Linkin Park, The Cure, Twisted Sister, Sepultura, and more.  

“Rocksmith+ has always been about empowering people to learn guitar with their favorite songs,” said Jay Cohen, Vice President of Executive Publishing at Ubisoft. “For beginners, guitar players, and music fans this is a great step forward. The large library of songs for learners and players to pick up and play on Rocksmith+ continues to expand every month. This new partnership with Warner Music Group will help bring both new and established artists to a new and growing audience. We appreciate the progressive approach of our colleagues at WMG, and we look forward to everything we will do together to deliver on the promise of a new music distribution model for all those who make music and the people who love to jam along to it.” 

“Ubisoft has developed some of the most groundbreaking, interactive music experiences, and the Rocksmith series is one of the best. We are so excited to be working with them on Rocksmith’s next iteration, Rocksmith+, to provide true music fans with the opportunity to explore and learn music in innovative ways,” said Jillian Rothman, VP of New Business & Ventures. “This partnership is a great addition to our efforts in gaming and reinforces our goal to provide artists with the tools to build new revenue streams, while enabling fans to connect with the music and artists they love.”
