The co -founders of Redoctane, Charles and Kai Huang, took an active role in a special advisory council for this new project, which is led by Simon Ebejer, former production director on several titles of Guitar Hero. In a message to fans, The developers said that the new game will not be a successor to Guitar Hero, DJ Hero or Rock Bandbut a completely new experience centered on the community.
Guitar Hero’s development line is complex, because After the purchase of Redoctane by Activision, the studio was closed in 2010 due to “market fatigue” like rhythm games. Although Guitar Hero Live experienced a brief return in 2015, the heritage of the series continued through amateur projects and events like the Fortnite Festival, where compatible guitar controllers were used. The new redo -tacky seems to take into account this community spirit, stressing the importance of a new generation of talents in the development of video games.
With the return of Redoctane and a new vision for rhythm games, Many players who enjoyed Guitar Hero are full of hope for a possible renewal of the franchise in the modern era. However, it remains to be seen if the expectations will be satisfied and if the new project will manage to capture the magic that made guitar Hero a revolution in its time.
