MTV today announced that Iggy Pop has been recreated in exquisite plasticy detail for use in LEGO Rock Band.

LEGO Rock Band Confirmed by GDC Slide Foul-up?

Apr 06, 2009 3:01pm CST tags: Lego Rock Band, Rumor
A cut slide from Harmonix senior designer Dan Teasdale's GDC lecture has lent considerable credence to the rumor of a LEGO Rock Band project.

The image, noticed by a Kotaku tipster, comes from an early version of Teasdale's set of slides, which was accidentally posted by GDC show runner Think Services.

Another slide featured placeholder text reading "project to be announced before or at 9 AM Friday," with Teasdale writing in the margins, "There's a project that I'll be talking about here, but it hasn't been announced yet. BUT - I will be showing it at GDC!"

But Harmonix stayed silent on Friday, leading Teasdale to cut the slides from his talk.

The slide also reveals a few unannounced Guitar Hero projects, including "GH: VH" and "GH: BH," which could refer to the rumored Guitar Hero: Van Halen and Guitar Hero: Band Hero projects, respectively.

The oft-rumored LEGO Harry Potter won't arrive in 2009, according to Eurogamer. Some had speculated the LEGO game would arrive alongside the next Harry Potter flick in the summer, which is being accompanied by an Electronic Arts-developed tie-in.

Meanwhile, videogaming247 reports that LEGO Rock Band is currently in development, and will somehow provide a block-busting rendition of Harmonix's music game series. VG247's source assured the site that the information is "100 percent correct." Then again, don't sources always say something along those lines?

In a recent interview, Traveller's Tales hinted at Star Wars and Indy sequels, and confirmed that a surprising LEGO game would be released this year... Read more
