All-New Story-Based Quest Mode Pays Homage to the Cult Classic RUSH Album, 2112<\/p>\n
Sydney, AUSTRALIA \u2013 Rush, one of the most influential rock bands in history, have joined together with Activision Publishing, Inc.\u2019s (Nasdaq: ATVI) Guitar Hero\u00ae: Warriors of Rock to bring their seven-part suite from their classic 2112 album to the game\u2019s all-new, story-based Quest Mode this September. For the first time ever, Guitar Hero\u00ae fans will embark on an epic voyage playing as eight Guitar Hero characters that transform into rock warriors who must join together to use their unique, game-changing powers to help the Demi-God of Rock take down \u201cThe Beast\u201d to save rock.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe music, the story and the journey of 2112 lends itself perfectly to the quest in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock,\u201d said Geddy Lee of Rush. \u201cIn our story, the caves of 2112 are where our hero finds the lost guitar and this rediscovery of music is much like the Guitar Hero warriors\u2019 journey to find the Demi-God of Rock\u2019s Legendary guitar, which has been trapped in a cavern.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI love the idea of Guitar Hero; they have combined two great things \u2013 music and fun,\u201d said Alex Lifeson of Rush. \u201cI think it\u2019s a great way to introduce people of all ages to music of various styles by all kinds of different bands, while providing a launching pad for kids who want to get into playing music.\u201d<\/p>\n
Within the narrative-driven journey, Rush and Guitar Hero fans alike will experience 2112 in a totally new and authentic way while traversing the exclusive three-part 2112 Rush-inspired venue and playing their way through the 20 minute, seven-part suite. Additionally, each song transition will feature band members narrating liner notes from the 2112 album. Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock will include:<\/p>\n
\u00b7 \u201c2112 Pt. 1 \u2013 Overture\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00b7 \u201c2112 Pt. 2 \u2013 The Temples Of Syrinx\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00b7 \u201c2112 Pt. 4 \u2013 Presentation\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00b7 \u201c2112 Pt. 7 \u2013 Grand Finale\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOur collaborations with legendary artists and bands, like Rush, are key to creating an original rock experience and have helped drive Guitar Hero\u2019s success,\u201d said David Haddad, Chief Operating Officer, Guitar Hero. \u201cThe journey that Rush\u2019s 2112 seven-part suite takes fans on fits flawlessly within the story Neversoft has expertly created for Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock and perfectly adds to the authenticity of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
