With the much-anticipated Rock Band 2 now on store shelves, rival franchise Guitar Hero is sneaking into the news on several fronts.Most recently, Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash let it slip to Rolling Stone that Guitar Hero is working on a Jimi Hendrix special edition akin to what it did with Aerosmith.
Metallica is another band previously identified as heading for its own Guitar Hero title. Both are expected after the holiday release of Guitar Hero: World Tour.
(Expect to see an in-game playable Hendrix character in that one!)
Additionally, Guitar Hero publisher Activision reportedly is mulling a subscription service for adding downloadable songs to the game.
More at Reuters.
