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

Guitar Hero Mobile is officially coming to mobile devices—a welcome announcement for fans of the rhythm game franchise. However, the reveal was marred by controversy. Activision used AI-generated art for the announcement, drawing criticism and overshadowing the excitement surrounding the game's return. This isn't the first time Activision has faced backlash for its use of AI art, as similar issues arose with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Details about Guitar Hero Mobile remain scarce. While the franchise had a previous mobile iteration almost 20 years ago (see image below), fans are anticipating a significantly more advanced and impressive experience this time around.
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. The negative reaction to the art, coupled with strong competition from games like BeatStar, casts a shadow over the launch.
Despite the less-than-stellar announcement, the potential for a successful Guitar Hero mobile game is undeniable. However, Activision's missteps highlight a concerning trend, dampening initial enthusiasm.
