Def Leppard have released a new promo video for Dangerous today via the Guitar Hero Live game.
Yesterday a story about their upcoming US TV appearances suggested they would add three songs to a new Guitar Hero game.
They are the first act to add a new music video to Guitar Hero Live with 'Dangerous' debuting today in Europe and the USA.
This is the second promo video from the new album after the release of Let's Go last year. A video which was their first since 2008's 'C'mon C'mon'.
Screenshots from the video can be seen here on Gamespot.
It appears to show footage shot in Singapore on 24th November 2015. You can tell this from the drum riser used at that show. It was different to any other show on the 2015 tour.
Like the 'Let's Go' video it features the same animation by Frank Gryner alongside the live band performance footage. Watch a short clip below.
The videos for 'Let's Go' and 'Rock Of Ages' are also included on the game as part of the GHTV feature. A - "a continuous broadcast of music videos where you and your guitar controller are the star.".
Guitar Hero Live was released in October 2015 and launched with a TV AD featuring James Franco and Lenny Kravitz.
The band released the 'Nine Lives' single via Guitar Hero in April 2008.
