Activision has confirmed that the next entry in their music franchise will be called Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock. The game will come with a redesigned rock-inspired guitar controller, compatibility with 500 songs from the Guitar Hero Music Library and all the Party Play multi-player functions of the franchise.
“Guitar Hero has set the standard for music based gaming and with Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock and the game’s all-new Quest Mode, robust and authentic set list, over-the-top challenges and rock-inspired new hardware, we are once again bringing the soul and energy of rock n roll to fans around the world,” said David Haddad, Chief Operating Officer for Guitar Hero.
Additionally, the game will have an all new Quest Mode. Hosted by Gene Simmons of KISS, this mode will take players from the stage of CBGBs to the molten lava fields of rock treachery where various rock heroes must team up to help Demi-God of Rock take down The Beast and save rock n roll.
“The world is a boring place. Come with me, and enter a world populated of Demi-Gods and Beasts. Transform from an everyday person and become the savior of rock and roll,” said Simmons. “It was an honour and privilege to narrate Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, even more so, to voice the Demi God. From the God of Thunder to the Demi-God, how cool is that…”
