 RedOctane, a leading rhythm-action videogame publisher, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision, Inc., today announced that starting this summer fans will be able to shred with a wireless guitar controller that will be compatible with Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero II on the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system. The wireless guitar controller will be available early 2007.

Displaying a new glossy white finish, the wireless guitar controller will provide Guitar Hero fans a thrilling experience of rocking out like never before. While utilizing the same innovative features and quality of the wired Guitar Hero SG Controller, the opportunity to pull off killer riffs and five star performances will allow players to continue fulfilling their ultimate rock star fantasy.

'RedOctane has long been committed to offering high-quality videogame accessories for gamers,' said Dusty Welch, head of publishing at RedOctane. 'Being able to give our fans an option to rock the wireless guitar controller was definitely a priority for us, and it'll provide another exciting experience for players to achieve rock star status!'

Guitar Hero II, the sequel to the critically-acclaimed Guitar Hero franchise, features a brand new and expanded track list of over 60 songs (including ARIA 2006 Award winners Wolfmother and nominees The Living End), along with more rock venues, characters, guitars, and play modes. Guitar Hero II introduces an innovative co-op mode that will encourage a greater rock band experience by providing the ability to either play the lead, and bass or rhythm guitar tracks.

Rated 'PG' by the OFLC, Guitar Hero II is scheduled for its next rock star performance November 15th on the PlayStation 2. For more information about Guitar Hero II, please visit the official site. We've now got a picture of the controller, which you can see above.
