Interestingly, before Activision put the hammer down on Guitar Hero, Vicarious Visions was working on Guitar Hero 7. It was only midway through its development that the project was canned and Guitar Hero entered retirement.

Kotaku spoke with a source and corroborated rumored details about the title, which we’ve posted below.
