Creators of Guitar Hero are scheduled to release a special edition of the game in honour of Metallica next spring, according to reports.
Details about the game are as yet unconfirmed, although it’s likely to be similar to the recent edition that was released in tribute to Aerosmith.
Metallica are currently in the studio recording their new album, the follow-up to 2002’s ‘St Anger,’ which is due out in September.
Drummer Lars Ulrich has said of the album: ‘These are long songs… we’re talking seven-minute, eight-minute, nine-minute nutty-ass songs. We don’t make them long or short on purpose; you just kind of do what feels natural.’
At a recent festival in California, Ulrich revealed to the crowd that the band would embark on a tour in support of the record in October.
