Activision has announced the autumn 2009 release of three new titles, DJ Hero, Guitar Hero 5 and Band Hero.
DJ Hero hopes to expand Guitar Hero’s social gaming to all-new consumers with the addition of diverse music genres including hip-hop, R&B, Motown, electronica and dance. The game will support the all-new turntable controller, transforming players into DJs who set out to rule the club scene.
Guitar Hero 5 promises to feature the hottest rock and roll artists today as well as classic rock bands and will give players an unprecedented level of control over the way they play the game. Players will be able to drop in and out of songs and change band members, instruments and difficulty levels on the fly.
Band Hero will be the franchise’s first title targeted at expanding its reach into the broad family audience who can play together on guitar, drums, bass and microphone. The game will feature a collection of Top 40 hits and will be accessible to novice players and expert fans alike.
“Guitar Hero has made music social again and has become one of the most popular ways to experience music,” said Dan Rosensweig, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Guitar Hero franchise. “Today’s fans enjoy a variety of music and are looking for more ways to engage with their favourite songs, artists and fellow fans. These games will let them listen, participate and socialize with music in ways they have never been able to before.”
