'We want to thank all of you for supporting Guitar Hero over the last nine years,' Activision wrote in a statement posted to the official Guitar Hero Facebook page. Servers for the PlayStation 3, Wii and Xbox 360 games will stay online, however, and any tracks you have already purchased will of course be unaffected.
The Guitar Hero mobile game will also be removed from sale on 31st March. Activision's library of downloadable song DLC for Guitar Hero, DJ Hero and Band Hero will be taken offline at the end of this month, the publisher has announced.
