Back in 2008, Activision applied for a trademark for a game called Dance Hero. Thenā¦we all forgot about it. Now, it seems, the publisher might actually be releasing the thing.

While the world was busy lamenting (or celebrating) the demise of the Guitar and DJ Hero franchises, Activision seems intent to carry on and release at least one new musical game, as Kotaku has learned that work is finally underway on a new franchise, called, yes, Dance Hero.

ā2012ā by Jay Sean (feat Nicki Minaj)
āOut Of Spaceā by The Prodigy.
āThe Way I Areā by Timbaland (feat Keri Hilson and D.O.E.)
āTake Over Controlā by Afrojack (feat Evan Simon)
While we donāt yet know what platforms the game would be appearing on, nor which studio is developing, weād wager that between the PlayStation Move, Kinect and Wii Remote thereās enough motion control there for at least three versions of the game. This is Activision weāre talking about, after all!
Kotaku has contacted Activision for confirmation and further comment, and will update if we hear back.
