Since The Beatles already have theirs and Green Day’s is on its way, it’s not too far-fetched to think that Hendrix would be getting his own Rock Band game. According to a Harmonix rep, however, “While we have not made any official announcements regarding Jimi Hendrix and Rock Band, we are excited to say that we are in discussions to bring more of his music to our platform. Stay tuned.”

Janie, apart from being Hendrix’s stepsister, also has control over the legend’s assets so the least we can get from this is that Jimi Hendrix is indeed going Rock Band. Whether it’s Hendrix: Rock Band or Hendrix DLC, either way is still very welcome.
