Activision rather unceremoniously disbanded their Guitar Hero unit after Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock and DJ Hero 2 underperformed expectations. However, despite the lack of new Guitar Hero games for the first time in several years, Activision indicates they’re not done with the brand.

“Actually, just to clarify, we’re just putting Guitar Hero on hiatus, we’re not ending it, said Activision VP of developer relations Dan Winters. We’re releasing products out of the vault – we’ll continue to sustain the channel, the brand won’t go away. We’re just not making a new one for next year, that’s all.”
