Announcement by Mike on MS.com:

 

Hi Everyone,

 

My bandmates and I are thrilled to announce our game, “Linkin Park 8 Bit Rebellion,” will finally be out late this month for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. In the game, you’ll battle enemies and solve mysteries in order to stop an evil corporation’s mass-brainwashing campaign. Here’s some other stuff you’ll find:

 

- an 8 Bit version of each member of Linkin Park

- new 8 Bit versions of some of our most popular songs

- characters and art designed by the band

- a brand new Linkin Park song, entitled “Blackbirds,” waiting for you at the end.

 

Besides being being the first game to contain a new, exclusive LP track, this game is a “first” in other ways: it’s the first massively multiplayer music artist app, our first game, and will be in the first wave of games designed for the iPad.

 

Look out for it later in the month, and feel free to tell some friends.

 

Thanks,

-Mike

 

By "later this month" he obviously means April, lol.

Haha how about they just release it!

Cant wait to hear what they say, I'm one of those people actually waiting for the song AND the game itself.

Your'e not alone brother lol. I've been waiting for any kind of QUOTE ON QUOTE "LP" news for almost the past 2 weeks lmao...it should be about time that they release the game already....those freakin perfectionists!!! but still I do believe the hold-up was because they also wanted to release the game for the new I-Pad coming soon as well

I hope it's something regarding the release date...the game was supposed to be released in January! If it's not the release date, I bet it's probably just info on what the game is about or something but more detailed than what we already know, which would be kind of lame.

Amen to that brother.

How about a 30 second clip of the song 

[LinkinParkHotspur]

I can't imagine that they wouldn't give us a release date after all this waiting and all this talk after Mike saying "Lulz, just a couple more weeks" back in January. I seriously doubt that this is true but I remember reading on another LP fansite (can't remember which one) that the game would be coming out this month according to some anonymous source. I guess we'll find out soon whether it will be coming out in the next 5 days.

[LPjahova808]

Members of LPU can preview the song? Probably not, but wishful thinking.

[MarieShinizzle]

finally some news...felt like wainting forever

can't wait! ^^

[GraDoN]

LP news these days are about as exciting as watching a dog take a dump, now something funny/exciting might happen but you know that it will most probably be just a average dump.

[LinkinParkHotspur]

I wonder if there was ever any truth to the song supposedly being called Ten Minutes to Midnight. I'm going to say....no.
