In our never-ending quest to keep you up to date on all the latest video game tidbits, we’ve got some rhythm-based goodness for you today. Hot on the heels of the new Aerosmith edition of Guitar Hero, due next month, a new GH appears to be in the works. Our sources are telling us that the next version, appropriately titled Guitar Hero IV (that means 4, not that you’ll need an intravenous hookup after playing on expert), will be in stores around October 26 of this year. Yes, that’s roughly a year since the last one, which came out about a year after the previous installment. Noticing a trend?

Not to be outdone, EA/MTV are looking to release Rock Band 2 for the holiday season as well, with a rough release slated for November. Here’s hoping all the poor folks who dropped $170 the first time around can still use the same instruments for the new songs. We’ll keep you posted as the release dates approach, but we figured we’d lend a hand to those of you who like to get your Christmas/Hannukah lists started early.
