Given Activision Blizzard’s history with developing the Guitar Hero brand, many were foretelling a sequel to DJ Hero. Lo and behold, Bobby Kotick has confirmed DJ Hero 2 in a Game Informer interview.
This might come as a surprise to some, given that DJ Hero failed to meet initial sales expectations owing to the hefty price tag and lack of group multiplayer that Rock Band has. What’s also worth noting is Kotick’s comments regarding some of his rather controversial remarks in the past. He described DJ Hero as “innovative” and said that ”It’s going to be less games, better games. That’s our strategy.”
This was actually a gratifying read for me. I would personally love to see a sequel to DJ Hero work, perhaps even with better support from guitars and microphone peripherals. It’s nice to see an emphasis for quality over quantity, especially after a product wasn’t the mega-seller investors might have been hoping for. We’re holding you to this promise, Bobby – don’t let us down!

It sold like poop, so I’m surprised they’re making a two.
Which is sad, because I love it.
