[FNX Magokiler]

It seems incredible but we are still waiting for Microsoft to receive final approval for the purchase of Activision Blizzard, which began in January 2022 and has been delayed due to the fear that Phil Spencer's team would monopolize too much of the share. market. So while that happens, many games that could be launched remain stopped. And one of them could return from the limbo he is in right now.

Blizzard aside, Activision alone has an endless collection of franchises that, for whatever reason, it has abandoned one after another. 20 years ago, the number of developments arriving was immense and these giants had no choice but to satisfy many types of users at the same time. Unfortunately, today that variety has been lost and the titles have become so atomized that it is not profitable to gamble money on bets that you do not know how they will work. So it's all Call of Dutys and similar things...

Play it again Sam
The fact is that this news has as its origin the comments of the CEO himself, Bobby Kotick, who in an internal meeting of the company - which even had a special guest, such as the actor James Corden, who you will remember for his role as Smithy in the series Gavin and Stacey – took the opportunity to explain to his collaborators how he sees the future market after the purchase, the impact of the famous AI and, specifically, he made many comments about how good a technology like this would be for a game like Guitar Hero.

Do you remember Guitar Hero? Well, almost 20 years ago they were rocking it, with each new edition that hit the stores and those guitars that many collected and that, at times.

 

 

Made us think that we were as good at playing as Richie Sambora. So, would you be excited about the return of that franchise to next-generation consoles?

It is important to say that this meeting was intended to talk with the other members of Blizzard or King about the imminent confirmation of the purchase of Microsoft, so bringing up the name of Guitar Hero in that talk is not as casual as it could be. seem to some.

Ten years giving the grade
The first Guitar Hero was launched in 2005 and was a resounding success. So much so that, from then on, a total of 14 games appeared constantly until 2010, so Activision ended up burning gamers and leaving them exhausted with so many rock themes. At the beginning of the last decade, the saga was in low numbers and fell fallow, until 2015, when it returned with a Live edition that did not succeed and marked the final burial of the game.

Now, once Microsoft gets approval for the purchase, we will see if it launches into developing a new Guitar Hero which, likewise, ends up becoming a service without deliveries every year, just a lot of content to buy and packs with guitars that They could be replicas of those that the great rock gods have been using. To like?
