Guitar Hero is coming to mobile, and stumbles out the block with AI announcement

Author : Andrew Mar 17,2025

Guitar Hero Mobile is officially coming to mobile devices, but the announcement was less than stellar. Activision's use of AI-generated art for the reveal has drawn significant criticism, overshadowing the excitement surrounding the franchise's return. This isn't the first time Activision has faced backlash for using AI art, as similar issues arose with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Details about Guitar Hero Mobile remain scarce. While the series had a previous mobile iteration nearly 20 years ago (see image below), fans are anticipating a much more modern and impressive experience.

The AI-generated promotional image used for the announcement has been widely criticized for its poor quality, raising concerns about the game's potential reception. With strong competition from titles like BeatStar, the less-than-ideal launch could negatively impact Guitar Hero Mobile's success.

Despite the initial misstep, the potential for a successful mobile Guitar Hero game is undeniable. However, Activision's questionable announcement strategy has cast a shadow over what could have been a highly anticipated revival.
