Guitar Hero
Following a five-year hiatus, as described below, Activision announced "Guitar Hero Live" for release in late 2015 on most seventh-generation and eighth-generation consoles. "Live" was developed to rebuild the game from the ground up, and while the gameplay remains similar to the earlier titles, focusing primarily on the lead guitar, it uses a 3-button guitar controller with each button having "up" and "down" positions, making for more complex tabulators. The game using live footage of a rock concert, taken from the perspective of the lead guitarist, as to provide a more immersive experience.

Another potential "Guitar Hero" project was discovered by the archival site Unseen64 for a game titled "Hero World", a massively multiplayer online game that would link the "Guitar Hero" and "DJ Hero" games. The game had been developed by FreeStyleGames, sometime after the release of "DJ Hero 2", with the main development duties passed to Virtual Fairground, using their platform The Ride, an Adobe Flash-based platform that would let the game be played in a web browser. The game was cancelled in 2011 along with other pending "Guitar Hero" projects.
