10 Perfect Songs A Guitar Hero Reboot Truly Needs
15.10.2023 - 14:55 / screenrant.com / Bobby Kotick
Though it has been the best part of a decade since the most recent release of a new game in the series, rumors have emerged that a reboot may be in development as part of Microsoft and Activision's new partnership. Though a new game hasn't been officially revealed, the mere prospect of it has fans of the once-popular rhythm music game franchise incredibly excited. While the most recent release, 2015's, was generally underwhelming, with seven mainline entries and approximately 3000 songs, the franchise has retained a loyal fanbase of dedicated players.
The latest in a series of rumors regarding the franchise's future was ignited by Activision CEO Bobby Kotick (via ), who during a meeting praised Microsoft's technological capabilities and speculated that the company's advancements in fields such as AI could conceivably make "" possible. Though Kotick's comment on the series may be innoxious, many have taken them to be a subtle hint at the pending return of one of gaming's most iconic and innovative franchises. An additional factor of interest concerns the music. Would a rebooted return to classic tracks that are widely associated with the franchise, or would it greatly expand its repertoire?

One of the most popular indie alternative rock songs of the 2010s and debatably one of the Arctic Monkey's best-ever tracks, "" could be the ultimate easy to medium-difficulty song in a rebooted game.
Though "" was featured in, other tracks from the 2013 album were not so lucky; although the Arctic Monkey's has released new musical material since, nothing has come close to the quality or critical and commercial success of the album that features classics like "" and ""
"," the first single from Red Hot Chili Pepper's eleventh studio album,, is perhaps the greatest example of funk rock to be released by the band since their earliest albums.
Although "" is not a blisteringly fast shred or an excessively heavy metal song, the track does have an incredible groove and feel, two components that many songs lack. Including it, therefore, in a rebooted game would offer an excellent alternative to the often homogenous tracklist.

Activision Boss Hints a Guitar Hero Revival Could Be on the Cards | Push Square
Guitar Hero was so immensely popular that, between it and its rival Rock Band, the plastic instrument rhythm game scene collapsed, fizzling out as quickly as it took off. We haven't seen a brand new entry for about eight years. It's sort of good, because it means we don't have guitar-shaped controllers taking up space anymore. But, it's also kinda bad, because those games are awesome. Activision's CEO, Bobby Kotick, seemingly agrees, if recent comments are anything to go by.
