The golden team, which once created "Guitar Hero" and "DJ Hero", announced the restructuring of RedOctane Games, vowing to push rhythm games to a new level.In an official statement released on Wednesday, the “Creators’ Alliance of Twenty Years Ago” announced an ambitious new mission.
"Our goal is simple: to rebirth the audio and video games with stronger control accuracy and more immersive experience design." The official RedOctane Games website manifesto reads, "What we want to create is not only games, but also a complete rhythmic ecology that integrates cutting-edge controllers, defined types of works and active communities - from day one, this is an adventure to go together." At the same time, the team revealed that it is developing a brand new work, which is expected to be officially released within the year.
The new RedOctane is run by Simon Ebejer.This senior developer has served as the production director of series such as "Guitar Hero 3" at Neversoft. When it was released in 2007, the work was both well-known and created a sales myth.Since then, he has served as head of Vicarious Visions Studio (who has ported Star Wars Jedi and Doom 3 to other platforms) and vice president of Blizzard operations.
The first generation of RedOctane was founded in 1999 by the brothers Charles and Kai Huang. It released its first work "Guitar Hero" and the PS2 version of "Guitar Hero 2".After the passive vision acquisition in 2006, new works such as "Guitar Hero Live" were born in 2015.Now reborn in the name of RedOctane Games, it belongs to the new owner Fellowship Entertainment (former Embracer Freemode, who acquired IPs such as Tomb Raider and "Breaking Out of the Siege". The two founders will return as special consultants to open a new era of rhythm games.
