Activision recently announced a new Guitar Hero game, hyping up fans about its potential release. Since the franchise’s establishment, it has released a series of games until Guitar Hero Live caused a major setback. The game failed miserably in the market due to oversaturation and the 2009 recession. However, new announcements, including a mobile game and controller releases, have reignited fans’ hopes for the long-dormant franchise’s comeback.

Here’s all you need to know about the latest Guitar Hero updates.

Recently, Activision took to Instagram to reveal a poster for an upcoming mobile version of Guitar Hero.

The poster featured four silhouettes holding guitars against an electrifying backdrop. The caption read, “Play your way — Guitar Hero goes mobile.” As the name suggests, the game is specifically designed for mobile phones and tablets. Fans quickly flooded the comment section, expressing excitement for the game.

However, many fans searched for the game on the Apple Store and felt disappointed when they discovered it didn’t exist yet. A pop-up notification suggested the product might launch in the future, keeping some fans excited. Meanwhile, others criticized Activision on social media, accusing the company of using an AI-generated poster to create hype and test market interest.
