Sony's SingStar karaoke game franchise has welcomed dozens of themed iterations since its inception. Titles in the series have ranged from band-specific entries focused on Abba and Queen, to country, Disney, and pop genre packs. Now, the franchise is returning to an era it has already waded into: the 1980s. SingStar is singing like its 1985 with the new SKU.
In a post on the European PlayStation Blog, Sony announced SingStar: Back to the 80s for the PlayStation 3. Due out this Christmas in Europe, the game will pack in 30 "massive hits" from the 1980s. No songs were named, but Sony said it plans to announce the entire tracklist at a later date.
No mention was made of a North American release date for SingStar: Back to the 80s, and as of press time, Sony had not responded to GameSpot's request for comment.
SingStar: Back to the 80s isn't Sony's first foray into music from that period. SingStar: The 80s was released on the PlayStation 2 in 2007 and featured songs from Alice Cooper, Dolly Parton, The Cure, Duran Duran, and more.
