Harmonix is still hoping to build up more hype around The Beatles: Rock Band by not revealing the complete tracklist for the game until very close to the actual release date, which is set for September 9.

Some hoped that a complete reveal might come as close as the E3 trade show, which takes place next month, but those hopes were crushed by the community manager of the company.

Alex Navarro spoke to Eurogamer and revealed that “You're looking at E3. It's not going to be the full tracklist that we announce, but we'll have some info at that point. We're gonna tease it a little bit.” So, expect to hear some self evident truths, like the fact that we will be able to play tracks such as “Let it be” or “Hey Jude,” which are essential to experiencing the music of The Beatles.

The most recent rumor related to the new Rock Band game is that Harmonix plans to offer back up microphone support, which should enable three players to provide vocal harmonies for some tracks. Navarro did not say whether the rumors were true or not - “Can't talk about that right now!” This can be taken in two ways: either the feature is there and Harmonix will unveil it later or the feature will not be introduced and the developer is not ready to let potential players down.

There have also been speculations related to the use of the fresh, remastered versions of The Beatles tracks, which will arrive on sales via the One package. It would make sense to use the higher quality tracks for the game but nothing is clear at the moment. There's enough time until September 9 for the developer to talk about The Beatles: Rock Band.
