Rock Band 3 will make its debut on October 26, MTV Games and Harmonix have announced. Backed by a genre crossing 83-track strong setlist and an all-new keyboard peripheral, the title features additional gameplay modes designed to guide to aid those unfamiliar with musical instruments as well as a Pro mode tailored towards professionals and enthusiasts alike.

While the standalone offering will set you back $59.99 across all three major platforms, there’s no official word on what the inevitable keyboard bundle package will cost yet. The portable Nintendo DS version rings in at $29.99.
