Activision has revealed further details on its all-new guitar controller to be released alongside Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock this September.

Developed by the in-house research and development team who have created and delivered previous Guitar Hero controllers, the style of the new guitar controller was inspired by the game’s unique art style and over-the-top story found in Quest Mode, the franchise’s first story-driven experience.

All essential parts are now contained within the neck allowing removable wings to be replaced with alternatives, giving gamers the chance to tailor the guitar controller to their own unique styles.

“Guitar Hero’s success has been driven by the seamless integration of hardware and software; creating innovative and accessible gameplay in tandem with developing and manufacturing top-quality hardware peripherals,” said David Haddad, Chief Operating Officer for Guitar Hero. “With the new rock-inspired Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock guitar controller, our hardware team has once again proven themselves to be a world-class leader in the category delivering an awesome, top-quality and rocktastic controller that will be the musical weapon of choice for all budding rock stars this fall.”

Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock is coming to Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii this September. Get your hands on the Battle Axe Guitar Controller by pre-ordering at GAME.
