Way back in February, Activision filed to trademark "DJ Hero," and since then a couple of unofficial reports have popped up regarding the DJ-based rhythm game, which is purportedly being developed for Activision by FreeStyleGames. What we haven't seen before is any official acknowledgment from Activision themselves that the game actually exists, but thanks to Guitar Hero World Tour project director Brian Bright, all the world (or those who actually care about this, anyway) can rest easy knowing it is indeed in the works.

In an interview with Joystiq, Bright was asked about what his team's next project would be. "Activision's doing a DJ Hero game, and I can't comment on what we're doing," Bright said. "But... we're working on the future and next gen. If I wasn't excited about it I wouldn't be there."


Awesome to know the World Tour team is keeping busy, but more importantly, this is the first time anyone inside Activision has publicly confirmed development on DJ Hero, as everything we've learned about it so far has come from anonymous sources. One such source told MTV Multiplayer back in september that the game was shaping up to be a "licensing nightmare," as it purportedly uses a soundtrack of mash-ups -- songs that are comprised by taking elements of two different songs and fusing them together. Before that, a different source gave a http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3169912number of gameplay details to Kotaku, saying the game is played with a controller that resembles a simplified DJ deck (real-life DJ deck pictured above), with a scratch "platter," three sampling buttons, a crossfader, and a sound effects dial.

What hasn't been part of any of these reports, though, is any indication of when to expect the game to be released.

Also on DJ Tiesto's blog he happily reported hes involved with the creation of DJ Hero. I'd provide the link but it needs to be found, a simple google search should suffice
