Rumor Has It That 'Guitar Hero' Is Leaving Neversoft

February 11, 2010 in Rumor comments 2

Neversoft has put several of their employees in front of the proverbial firing squad, telling them that after completion of the still unofficial 'Guitar Hero 6' that they'll be let go by the developer and the series will change hands.

According to sources at both Activision and Neversoft, after the developer completes work on technically-unannounced-but-we-all-know-its-coming Guitar Hero 6, the publisher will hand the groundbreaking franchise over to Vicarious Visions. Vicarious Visions has some history with the Guitar Hero franchise, having worked on the Wii ports of every GH console game since Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. The studio works on the Nintendo DS Guitar Hero: On Tour series as well.

    The franchise should just fade away after that. There really isn't anything else GH can do different without making it an absolute waste of cash.

      According to some people it already is, for buyers and the company. It lost Activision $240 million last year.
