After being discontinued in 2011, Guitar Hero is now set to rise from the dead in live action form, with tracks from The War On Drugs, Ed Sheeran, The Killers and more.
The game of everyone's childhood (or, indeed, adulthood) launched in 2005, and was followed by five sequels and a number of spin-offs, such as Metallica, Van Halen and Aerosmith editions.
As NME reports, it was then discontinued by manufacturers Activision in 2011 - but is now set to return with a redesigned guitar controller and in live action form, as demonstrated in the slightly embarrassing trailer below. It'll be rolled out on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PS3, and Nintendo Wii U, as well as on mobiles.

The playlist for the latest edition of Guitar Hero includes The War On Drugs, Fall Out Boy, Ed Sheeran, Green Day, The Killers, The Black Keys, The Lumineers, The Rolling Stones, Pierce The Veil, My Chemical Romance, and Gary Clark, Jr.
"We've gone really broad with our musical genres," says the game's creative director Jamie Jackson. Not quite broad enough to include any women or people of colour though.
