Despite speculation that the name will be a placeholder, project director Brian Bright told DS that it is final and will show the evolution of the series.
"It is the name. I think they did that to differentiate, just to let you know this is the big one, it’s the one we’ve put the most amount of development time and resources into, because we’re pushing all these new features and new things in the game."
He highlighted that consistent online functionality is one of those features, as well as accessibility through party play.
"The way we’ve built the game is so that it’s always online, essentially," he said.
Guitar Hero 5 will be released on 360, PS3 and Wii by the end of the year.
