Activision has announced its partnership with Logitech to develop and market premium instrument controllers for Guitar Hero World Tour.
This latest installment of the popular music-based video game franchise is schedule to ship this fall for Xbox 360, PS3, PS2 and Nintendo Wii gaming consoles.
“Logitech is the leading producer of peripheral devices and the company is widely considered to be the gold standard for innovation and quality peripheral products. With Logitech, we know we have found the right partner who can deliver top-quality premium hardware that consumers have come to expect from Guitar Hero,” commented Charles Huang, vice president business development for RedOctane.
“As huge fans of Guitar Hero, we are very excited about the opportunity to bring the Logitech experience to the Guitar Hero franchise. A few years ago, Logitech refined the consumer steering wheel market with high-end controllers that enhance racing games. Now we are looking forward to elevating the market for premium music-based video game controllers in a similar fashion,” noted Bruce Lancaster, Vice President and General Manager of Logitech’s gaming business.
The new Logitech instrument controllers for Guitar Hero World Tour are expected to be made available by end of this year.
