Former Guitar Hero developer Vicarious Visions is working on a new unannounced Wii U game according to one of the developers CV. According to Gamespot the company has three games in the works, Project Atlantis is listed for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Project Phoenix for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii and Project Nova for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii U.
First
They all have cool names…. I just hope to god Pheonix isn’t going to be the resurrection of Guitar Hero. >.>
guitar u hero!
Project Nova?
…Guitar Hero… IN SPACE.
Vicarious Visions are an AWESOME developer. One of the few that actually took the Wii seriously and actually tried to make decent games for it rather than just stick to weak ports and blame the system.
I know that people won’t believe this because the publisher was Activision, but the Guitar Hero series has always been treated far better on the Wii than Rock Band ever has, and it’s pretty much because of these guys.
I look forward to anything they might be working on for the Wii U. Here’s hoping that Project Nova might be a new Guitar Hero game. Yes, I really did just say that and I’m not ashamed even though I’ll get a lot of hate thrown my way. Why pretend that I don’t want to play a new game from a series that brings me tons of joy?
Totally agree with you, tje online in warriors of rock wad perfect,
ya it got alot of hate but my thing for guitar hero was always challenge, and warriors of rock really brought the gh3 felling back with dragonforce and the megadeth songs
I’m hoping for another GH too. :(
Anyone else notice that,the controller in the picture is slimmer than the one we saw before ?
I noticed that too.
How could it be, this photo was taken at E3. (note the name tag)
We’re just seeing it from the bottom-up; the big grip bar on the back isn’t visible from this angle.
Good point. :P
Yay more develupers
^ I think this is the most stupid comment i’ve wrote.
Really, I didn’t spell developers correctly at all and… It looks like a 4 year old wrote it. I’m not 4 years old, so don’t think i’m 4 alright.
Simply awesome. licitatii
I first thought that the former developer was Harmonix and thought I’d be seeing Nintendo Presents Rock Band. But no, it’s Vicarious Visions. There go those hopes.

Wait, but Activisions Killed Guitar Hero, that’s why DJ Hero 3DS is dead as well, how come they are going to make another one?
There’s been a lot of confusion over this, not helped by how Activision handled it and also the Internet’s response. Basically the Guitar Hero series didn’t “die”, it has simply been put on hiatus for now with its future currently being unknown. Activision have clarified that they simply didn’t want to make a game THIS year, and are giving the series a break while they look at what they want to do, if anything. You can still buy the games, still register and download imports and DLC. The forum, facebook and twitter pages are still completely active.
Activision renewed their contract with FreeStyle Games (DJ Hero developers) and obviously from this article you can gather that Vicarious Visions still work for them. Chances are you might see a new Guitar Hero next autumn. Here’s hoping we do.
But why they don’t make anymore new DLC, and why they cancelled DJ Hero 3DS?
It doesn’t make any sense.
