Guitar Hero is Dead!!

It's official Guitar Hero had died!

The popular Guitar Hero video game franchise is officially dead. According to publisher Activision, which will close its music game division and cease development of existing Guitar Hero titles, they're ending the series in order to refocus efforts online.


Insiders expect that the firm will shift its attention to multiplayer, social and online connected play, a field currently characterized by all-digital products including iPhone, Facebook and downloadable casual games.
The news comes on the heels of lackluster sales performance by last holiday season’s Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock.

With the video game industry known for regularly reintroducing new franchises or translating hit titles to new devices, it’s entirely possible Guitar Hero will live on in mobile or social formats. Given potential profits from the sale of digital song downloads and updates, much cheaper to make and deliver than physical goods, it’s also unlikely that the company will completely cut off customers who want to expand the libraries on their existing games.
