After months of fan speculation that the next iteration in the Guitar Hero franchise would offer a full band experience (ala Rock Band), Activision finally made it official on Thursday. Guitar Hero World Tour, to be released this fall, will add drums and voice to the musical experience, along with a slew of other new features.
All the new controllers, including a reworked guitar that Activision claims has been made even more responsive, will come wireless. The drum set will include three velocity-sensitive drum pads that supposedly deliver “authentic bounce,” two raised cymbals, and a bass kick pedal.
