Downloadable content for 1 and 2 has of course rocked the and repeatedly, not least in the run up to Christmas, while the version of the game - despite repeated promises - lacks such luxuries.

Despite the absence of additional content, then, the Wii version of Rock Band 2 will be getting fresh content, the title's makers moving to assure fans that they are hard at work on new tracks.

According to fresh word on the game's forums man Sean Baptiste wants to assure fans over downloadable content, and address "confusion" over the subject.

Apparently, Harmonix are hard at work on the creation of 20 free tracks for Rock Band 2, with 30 songs also en route from the Rock Band 2 catalogue.

Baptiste hopes the new content will arrive "as early in 2009 as possible". Thanks Kotaku.
