The next Guitar Hero, supposedly the final under the development wing of Harmonix, is Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s, a PlayStation 2-only release due on July 24th. Activision today confirmed the retro edition's final setlist, much of which has already been confirmed. A few new tunes have popped up, but sadly (for Luke, mostly) no Bon Jovi.
