Tiesto To Headline DJ Hero Game
It looks like those DJ Hero rumors are true.
In his latest email newsletter, Dutch trance superstar DJ Tiesto let slip that he’s involved in the development of a DJing version of Guitar Hero, DJ Hero.
“I am very excited about this!” says Tiësto. “I think this is a great way to introduce people into DJing”.
While DJ Hero is just a video game – it’s sure to have a significant influence on the world of electronic dance music.
“I am sure this brings new fans to the scene,” says Tiesto. “Hopefully the music I have composed appeals to all kinds of fans!”
In February 2008, Activision filed to trademark the name DJ Hero.
