Activision has pencilled in DJ Hero for release in the U.S. on October 27, while the rest of the world will get it by the end of that month, the publisher said today.
In addition, the company also confirmed that the title will be fully compatible with Rock Band peripherals such as the microphone and guitar.
With DJ Hero, Activision hopes to attract a slew of new punters by building on Guitar Hero’s social gaming sensibilities with an array of new genres such as hip-hop, R&B, Motown, electronica and dance. As you might have already guessed, the game will incorporate an all-new specialised peripheral – the turntable controller.
DJ Hero will be available for PS3, PS2, Xbox 360 and Wii.
