RedOctane Games, one of the two studios responsible for the creation of Guitar Hero, is back from its ignominious death under Activision and already teasing a spiritual successor to the legendary rhythm game series.

The new RedOctane is "focused solely on advancing the rhythm game genre combining the past with the future," according to a press release. The announcement continues, "The team has been busy in pre-production over recent months and has now officially entered production on its debut rhythm-based title, which is expected to be announced later this year."
