Activision has yet to confirm, but Kiss' Gene Simmons has confirmed his involvement in the title by stating that he "is the voice of Guitar Hero 6".
Speaking to ITN Productions' Game On programme, Simmons confirmed that he was involved.
Pocket-Lint writes: "Pity poor Guitar Hero. Ever since EA’s rival, Rock Band, first appeared critics have been prophesying its demise, and Activision’s obsession with exploring a wider range of musical genres and expanding the game’s appeal hasn’t exactly helped the series hold on to its hardcore fans. Warriors of Rock, then, is a bit of a calculated step backwards, moving away from the Rock Band comparisons, ditching the Sting, Johnny Cash and Duran Duran numbers, and focusing more on the single player experience and on rock in all its glorious forms. The result is an instalment that’s likely to prove divisive: Warriors of Rock isn’t going to woo the mainstream, party-play music game crowd, but for a certain type of would-be axe legend, it’s easily the best Guitar Hero since Guitar Hero III."
Ironstar: With our wonderful and lively world filled with more and more saturated music games, specifically the Hero franchise, one could only continue to speculate, what will they do next?
Everytime I see his smug little face, I feel like taking a piss all over the call of duty cases in gaming stores.
But that was hilarious.

Walked right past him at E3 in the Nintendo conference. I should've smacked him and ran lmao
You should have taken time to think. Walked over to the EA booth, grabbed a business card from them. Wrote on the business card "thanks!" and snook it in his back pocket.
Activision says Guitar Hero 6 will see the franchise return to its rock ‘n’ roll roots.
The latest in the record-breaking music series is due to arrive before the end of the year on multiple formats, along with a new DJ Hero title.
UK brand manager Jon Edney told MCV: “In many ways we are taking the brand back to its roots and to what made it the biggest selling music game franchise of all time.
...even though the series is being milked far enough.
The game needs to see the Who, Boston, ACDC, The Fratellis, Queen, U2, Linkin Park!!!
No way...
Why does he look so shocked about it though?
What a surprise...
Not like it's a huge surprise to see Yet Another Goddamn Guitar Hero Game, but it's nice to get some confirmation. I am, however, intrigued by the role Gene'll be playing.
yay!! more of the same crap!!! good job activision!!!
