The official âGuitar Hero Franchise Update FAQâ breaks the badâbut not wholly unexpectedânews that after the release of already announced downloadable content, your copies of DJ Hero 2 and Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock will no longer be updated with new music.

Activision will lay off around 500 people related to the shuttering of the Guitar Hero biz.
