Looks like we may already have an update as to what songs we can expect to be seeing in Green Day: Rock Band.  Sent to me from @toymachinesh, and posted on Scorehero.com is the image above, which looks to be like a Canadian scan of Green Day: Rock Band for the Wii. (ESRB rating, French description markings… hence, Canada.)  There are 22 songs listed, which means there are 25 still not listed.  Click on the image above for a higher res image, but here’s the tracks that are listed on the back of the game:

• 21st Century Breakdown
• American Idiot
• Basket Case
• Before the Lobotomy
• Boulevard of Broken Dreams
• Brain Stew
• Chump
• Geek Stink Breath
• Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)
• Holiday
• Homecoming
• Horseshoes and Handgrenades
• Jesus of Suburbia
• Longview
• She’s a Rebel
• Song of the Century
• St. Jimmy
• The Static Age
• Wake Me Up When September Ends
• Warning
• Welcome to Paradise
• When I Come Around

Looks like the fun don’t stop today!  If GDC has this much coverage, hopefully PAX East has even more! Check out a gallery below of images from Green Day: Rock Band (click for hi-res versions)!

Yup, here is the OFFICIAL box art for Green Day: Rock Band.  Looks like I wasn’t too far off from my rumored post!  Here’s the official box art for the consoles: Xbox 360, PS3, Wii

Also, here’s the box art for the Green Day: Rock Band PLUS game, which includes an export token and 6 Green Day DLC tracks.

And many of you have probably seen this, but just to make sure, here’s the original teaser for Green Day: Rock Band…

A press release just went out (and it looks like a post on the forums, as well) that the official release date will indeed be June 8th, 2010.  The game will have a simultaneous release across North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.  The price for Xbox 360 and PS3 will be $59.99 and $49.99 for the Wii.

There is also a $69.99 version coming out for the Xbox 360 and PS3 (in the US and Canada only) that includes “special packaging, export, and six Green Day DLC tracks.”

The game will include over 100 collectible images, similar to the Beatles: Rock Band, as well as more than 40 minutes of rare and unreleased video from interviews, outtakes, and performances.

The game will ship with 47 tracks (and some tracks may contain more than one song… see the previous post below).  As announced here earlier, all 47 are fully exportable into other Rock Band, Rock Band 2, and Rock Band 3 (which in theory means that all other Rock Band DLC will be supported in Rock Band 3).

Also of note is the fact that the six Green Day DLC tracks already available can be played in Green Day: Rock Band with added vocal harmonies, unique performance visuals, and exclusive archival material.

Green Day: Rock Band is rated “T” for Teen by the ESRB, which means those dirty words will probably be edited out.

UPDATE: @HMXHenry reached out to me to let me know this VERY tantalizing tidbit: If you pre-order the game from GameStop, it comes with a FREE code to export the songs on launch day into Rock Band!  If you’re going to get the non-special version, it seems like a no brainer to get it from GameStop!

The Game Developers Conference is going on out west this week, and with it comes a chance for many developers to show off some of their new wares, and Harmonix is no different.  They had a chance last night to demo some of their next release, Green Day: Rock Band.  According to what I’m seeing over at IGN, it appears that the in-game trio looks, moves, and sings just as they do in real life (no surprise when compared to the amount of detail that was contributed to The Beatles: Rock Band).

I’ve heard reports that the game will differ slightly from the Beatles game, in that Green Day will less of a chronological history of the band, and instead focus on more iconic performances throughout their career instead.

IGN is also tentatively reporting the same release date and pricing I discovered, June 8, 2010 for $59.99.  The game will be fully exportable to the Xbox 360 and PS3 (not the Wii… sorry guys, kinda difficult when you don’t have a hard drive).

Finally, Harmonix released six songs that will be featured in the game:

• “Brain Stew”/”Jaded” (played together)
• “Hitchin’ a Ride”
• “Wake Me Up When September Ends”
• “Boulevard of Broken Dreams”
• “American Idiot”
