Activision has announced another 22 songs for the latest iteration of its main rhythm game franchise, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock. Some of the bands that will appear in the new Guitar Hero are Bush, Blue Oyster Cult and Sum 41.

Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock also has an epic ending to its single player campaign that features one of the songs of progressive rock band Rush. The game's Quest Mode will finish by tasking the players to complete the whole of 2112, a seven-part suite from the group's 1976 album with the same title. 2112 runs for no less than 20 minutes and 33 seconds, making it the longest track ever to feature in a music video game.

“The music, the story and the journey of 2112 lends itself perfectly to the quest in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock,” said Geddy Lee of Rush. “In 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' journey to find the Demi-God of Rock's Legendary guitar, which has been trapped in a cavern.”

Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock will be released on the PlayStation 3, the Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii in the autumn of 2010.
