All Rush fans can now rejoice. Rush is teaming up with game company, Activision for the upcoming Guitar Hero: Warrior of Rock game. In fact, the game will feature a brand-new story-based quest mode that pays homage to the Rush album 2112. The seven-part suite from the album will debut with the game this September.

From Activision:

For the first time ever, Guitar Hero® fans will embark on an epic voyage playing as eight Guitar Hero characters that transform into rock warriors who must join together to use their unique, game-changing powers to help the Demi-God of Rock take down “The Beast” to save rock.

“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.”

“I love the idea of Guitar Hero; they have combined two great things – music and fun,” said Alex Lifeson of Rush. “I think it’s a great way to introduce people of all ages to music of various styles by all kinds of different bands, while providing a launching pad for kids who want to get into playing music.”

“Our collaborations with legendary artists and bands, like Rush, are key to creating an original rock experience and have helped drive Guitar Hero’s success,” said David Haddad, Chief Operating Officer, Guitar Hero. “The journey that Rush’s 2112 seven-part suite takes fans on fits flawlessly within the story Neversoft has expertly created for Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock and perfectly adds to the authenticity of the game.”

This innovative new approach to 2112, will have players moving through a three-part 2112 Rush-inspired venue. During this journey, players will get to jam out to the seven-part suite (20 minutes of play). Members of the band will also narrate liner notes during song transitions.

The Suite featured within Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock includes:

-“2112 Pt. 1 – Overture”
-“2112 Pt. 2 – The Temples Of Syrinx”
-“2112 Pt. 3 – Discovery”
-“2112 Pt. 4 – Presentation”
-“2112 Pt. 5 – Oracle: The Dream”
-“2112 Pt. 6 – Soliloquy”
-“2112 Pt. 7 – Grand Finale”
