Guitar Hero Mobile is officially coming to mobile devices, but the announcement was… less than stellar. Activision’s reveal, a blatantly AI-generated image on Instagram, has drawn significant criticism, especially following similar controversies surrounding Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. This underwhelming announcement has dampened excitement for the highly anticipated revival.
While the legendary rhythm game franchise has a history on mobile (though nearly 20 years ago, as shown below), details on this new iteration remain scarce. The lack of a proper trailer or press release leaves fans with little to go on.
The AI-generated promotional art has been widely criticized for its poor quality, raising concerns about the game's potential success. Competition from established rhythm games like Space Ape's BeatStar further complicates the launch.
Despite the initial misstep, the potential for a successful Guitar Hero mobile game is undeniable. However, Activision's controversial announcement has undoubtedly overshadowed the positive news. The company’s repeated use of AI-generated art is a major concern.
For fans looking for other successful mobile adaptations of major franchises, exploring the top 9 Final Fantasy games on mobile might be a worthwhile diversion.
