Activision hat die "Guitar Hero"-Marke, aber Electronic Arts vertreibt das neue Spiel der kreativen Köpfe hinter dem Überraschungserfolg.

Der Überraschungshit "Guitar Hero" hat im vergangenen Jahr viele Firmen aufmerksam gemacht. Activision übernahm daraufhin den Publisher Red Octane, samt der dazugehörigen "Guitar Hero"-Marke. Im nächsten Zug übernahm MTV die kreativen Köpfe hinter dem Musikspiel und kaufte den Entwickler Harmonix. Während Activision die Entwicklung weiterer "Guitar Hero"-Titel inhouse an NeverSoft übertragen hat, berichten amerikanische Medien jetzt von einem weiteren Coup, diesmal ausgehend von Activisions Rivale Electronic Arts. Demnach haben Harmonix und EA Partners eine Distributionsvereinbarung für das nächste Spiel unter der MTV-Marke geschlossen. Zu Details über das neue Spiel zitiert "Gamespot" den Mitgründer von Harmonix, Alex Rigopoulos: "Das Spiel ist bei weitem - wirklich bei weitem - das ehrgeizigste Projekt, an dem wir uns jemals versucht haben."
