Official news reaches us today that III: Legends of Rock will be released on the 23rd of November, finally confirming what retailers have predicted for some time.

The game will be sold alone, or with a new wireless Les Paul guitar controller. The title is due out on 360, PS3, and PS2. An impressive track roster is already lined up for the new Guitar Hero, the first from Neversoft, the new developer of the series - who's first creation this latest game is.

Quite how Neversoft's series debut will compare with Harmonix's seminal originals remains to be seen, especially with that developer now in bed with and MTV, hard at working on - a rival rhythm-music title due out in 2008 - and set to include other instruments and voice work as well as guitars.

GH III is also in for the and DS, with the former also predicted out on November 23rd by retailers. More on this soon.
