Ubisoft announced the launch of a new subscription service, Rocksmith+, during its presentation at E3 on Saturday (June 12). Rocksmith+ allows players to use a real guitar or bass as they learn to play along with some of their favorite songs. The latest update will also let you play with an acoustic guitar.
"Rocksmith+ features a unique visual interface, improved state-of-the-art note detection, real-time feedback, and all-new personalized recommendations. New tools include the Rocksmith Tablature option for long-time guitarists, MIDI playback, playlists, and how-to videos," Ubisoft said.
Rocksmith+ will cost $14.99 per month, $39.99 for a 3-month subscription, or $99.99 for a yearly subscription. It will include new songs added every week, along with new game modes, practice tools, and other features added on a regular basis.
The game will be available on PC this summer and will launch on consoles in the fall. A mobile version will also be coming in the future.
That wasn't all Ubisoft had in store. The developer also released a trailer for its new game, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, which will be released on PS5, Xbox Series X / S, PC, and cloud services Google Stadia and Amazon Luna. The game will allow you to explore "the Western Frontier, a never-before-seen part of Pandora" as Na'vi.
Ubisoft also released new footage from Rainbow Six Extraction, a tactical shooter that will pit gamers against hordes of aliens. The game will be released on September 16 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
