Guitar Hero
In 2015, Activision announced the first new title to the series in 5 years, "Guitar Hero Live", released in October 2015. The title is considered a reboot of the series, with development being performed by FreeStyleGames, who had developed the "DJ Hero" games previously. As of December 1, 2018, Activision disabled the GHTV servers for Guitar Hero Live, reducing playable content from approximately 500 songs to 42 on disc tracks.
Guitar Hero World Tour
While the game continues to feature the use of a guitar-shaped controller to simulate the playing of rock music, "Guitar Hero World Tour" is the first game in the "Guitar Hero" series to feature drum and microphone controllers for percussion and vocal parts, similar in manner to the competing "Rock Band" series of games. The game allows users to create new songs through the "Music Studio" mode, which can then be uploaded and shared through a service known as "GHTunes".
