  2. Is Skylanders returning yes at some point. Next year? No. Tfb has confirmed they really want to revive it but they have a lot of stuff to do. Plus right now is not the right time. Maybe when Imaginators 10th anniversary or SSA 20th anniversary is when we get some new Skylanders content.

    Bobby Kotick reckons Microsoft has the resources Activision didn't

    Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick has said the publisher’s acquisition by Microsoft could see the revival of the classic rhythm game series Guitar Hero.

    It’s not hugely surprising that a Guitar Hero revival is back on the table. After the Microsoft-Activision acquisition was announced earlier this week, we reckoned the wannabe-rockstar rhythm game had a good chance of sticking its head above the parapet and reclaiming the love it’s been missing out on for the past several years.

    Kotick’s reason for its regeneration is more interesting, however. He suggests Activision hadn’t lost faith in the brand, or the basic appeal of its games, but wasn’t prepared to overcome the immediate logistical problems involved in rebooting the franchise. 

    The idea that a billion-dollar company like Activision couldn’t find the resources to create a new manufacturing team, or expand its supply chain management, sounds like a stretch. But, if nothing else, his comments do demonstrate just how mammoth a company Microsoft is if Kotick thinks it has the means to pursue projects that Activision couldn’t. With Activision Blizzard under its belt, Microsoft will only get larger.

    Kotick's comments also indicate the potential direction that Microsoft will take the series. Last year, Unplugged: Air Guitar made some noise for recreating Guitar Hero’s basic rock ‘n’ roll rhythm gameplay in VR. It ditched the accessories and had you furiously strumming the air rather than haphazardly plonking your fingers across a plastic fretboard.

    Here, Kotick suggests Guitar Hero wouldn’t pursue a similar direction, with the game’s physical, manufactured elements staying. Maybe miniature Flying Vs will be hitting shelves again in the near future.
