During its Q1 earnings call, the studio also announced that the rhythm-action game will be followed by the next entry in the DJ Hero series.
"Guitar Hero remains the leader in the [music] category, with more than 44 million games sold as of to date (sic). This fall, we expect to launch Guitar Hero 6 and soon after we expect to launch the next DJ Hero," said exec Thomas Tippl.
"This year, we've added more great original music, new and innovative gameplay modes and a significantly enhanced social gameplay experience. We expect to follow each release with a full line-up of exciting downloadable content."
Tippl also predicted that the music genre will experience a downturn during the next fiscal year due to the "sell-through of higher-priced peripherals" to a "higher percentage of software sales".
