No keyboard coming to "World Tour"

by Steve Wysowski August 26th 2008 1:10 PM CDT0 Comments

If you're favorite rock song is "Jump" or "Karn Evil 9", you might want to turn away.

Brian Bright of Neversoft has just confirmed to Joystiq that there will be no keyboard peripheral coming to Guitar Hero: World Tour. Instead he stated that the company has larger plans for a keyboard-based title:

"A keyboard controller deserves to be introduced with its own game. This is something we're thinking about." So, what about all the keyboard sections in the song creator? Bright says,. "there are reasons why we haven't included a keyboard controller." He elaborates that not all of the songs have keyboard parts so, "adding a keyboard controller would either have limited our choices, or the players."

Rock Band 2 will not be releasing with a keyboard either. I guess this year we won't be able to play a Van Halen song properly.
