Activision shows off Guitar Hero 5 box art

The traditional unveiling of a game’s box art always happens when the community has stopped buzzing about a game. It does make sense, publishers want more hype etc. But anyways — Activision is proud to show off the box art for their upcoming Guitar Hero 5.

So yeah, check out the box art above and prepare for its September 1st release date on the Xbox 360, PS3, PS2 and Wii.

Any bets on how long Activision will continue the Guitar Hero franchise until the community grows tired? I have my money on at least Guitar Hero 15.

You want yet another Guitar Hero title, right? Okay good, because Activision has recently announced that they have aquired Budcat Creations and have already given them their first project. Guitar Hero.

You’ve probably never heard of Budcat Creations, but they’ve helped Activision with some PS2 Guitar Heroes and have also worked on titles for the Wii and DS.

But really, common Activision, another Guitar Hero?
