Ever since the original Guitar Hero hit store shelves the brand has pretty much become a household name. However, most likely due to a surplus of titles, the brand has seen a steady sales decline. Well, you probably already know that RedOctane was the game’s original publisher until Activision decided to buy them out along with the Guitar Hero brand. And, it was most likely Activisions fault for there been so many Guitar Hero titles in such a short period of time.

Anyways, due to the decline in sales and their need to slow down releases, Activision has decided to shut down RedOctane for good.

Of course, Guitar Hero fans will still be able to pick up new titles, just not as many and RedOctane will have no part in it.
