ROCKSMITH™ NOW AVAILABLE IN AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA –Ubisoft^® announced that Rocksmith™ - an innovative, efficient and fun way to learn how to play the guitar - will be available in stores from today in Australia and New Zealand for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and for the Sony PlayStation® 3 computer entertainment system.

Highly acclaimed in North America, Rocksmith is a revolution in the music game genre: for the first time ever, players can plug any real electric guitar or bass into their Xbox 360 or PlayStation^®3 console. Rocksmith is the real thing for those who are serious about guitar learning and playing, with a proven method of learning which automatically adapts to the players’ ability so they can progress at their own pace, and the possibility to play simultaneously guitar and bass with a friend in local multiplayer. Thanks to Rocksmith’s fun and instructive method, players will actually be able to play the guitar, even without the game.

The local version of Rocksmith will include the original game already released in North America plus exclusive additional content, such as the brand new bass guitar mode.
