DJ Hero 2 is on the way to consoles this year, and that’s the official word from Activision. The publishing giant has just announced that the sequel will be on sale this autumn, and will bring in a host of new features. Read on for more info.
DJ Hero 2 will incorporate a bevy of fresh multiplayer modes, including DJ Battles. This put you up against another plastic turntable-user in mixes specifically designed for head-to-head battles. There’ll also be vocalist gameplay for the first time: hook up a microphone and you’ll be able to sing or rap.

DJ Hero 2 will come with over 70 unique tracks, each a remixed version of a well known dance, pop or hip-hop track. Artists mentioned so far include Dr Dre, The Chemical Brothers, Kanye West, Rihanna, Metallica and Lady Gaga.
Speaking of Ms Gaga, Activision is releasing a special new free downloadable track for owners of DJ Hero. Blending Lady Gaga’s “Just Dance” with Deadmau5’s “Ghosts ‘n’ Stuff”, this track will give existing DJ Hero owners the chance to get a preview of DJ Hero 2’s soundtrack. The track will be available on Xbox Live and PSN from 8-14 June. Yes, that’s from today!
Pricing has yet to be announced, but DJ Hero 2 will be available in a variety of bundles: Party, which features the game, two turntables and a microphone; Turntable, which is the game and a single turntable controller; and just the game on its own.
Expect more DJ Hero 2 news at E3 next week.
