Earlier this year reports surfaced that both the Guitar Hero and Rock Band franchises were set to make a comeback, and it looks like they were right: we already know that Rock Band 4 is in the works, and today Activision is teasing a brand new Guitar Hero. While the brief video doesn’t explicitly say the name of the game it’s teasing, it shows a band preparing to take the stage alongside the phrase “it’s about to get real.” It certainly looks like a Guitar Hero game, but we’ll know for sure tomorrow when Activision — a publisher that absolutely loves its teasers — officially makes its announcement. Stay tuned to find out if you’ll need to get a brand new plastic guitar.
