Rocksmith delayed in Europe but includes new 'Bass Mode'

Ubisoft has announced that the revolutionary Rocksmith game, that allows players to plug and play with any guitar, has been delayed and will now be available in Europe on October 11th. The game was previously slated for an September release.

When the game launches in Europe it will include the brand new Bass mode, offering players the opportunity to play bass guitar on all supported on-disc and downloadable songs.

Not only can players play the bass parts of songs, but bassists of all experience levels can also improve their skills with dedicated bass technique challenges and tutorial videos. Players can even use any 6-string guitar to emulate a 4-string bass. Tracking their learning has never been easier as bass progression is tracked separately from guitar progression.

Last but not least, all songs can be played in multiplayer with one person playing the bass part and the other the guitar part.

Rocksmith will be available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and at a later date on Windows PC/MAC.
