Since being confirmed last October, no news on DJ Hero has surfaced till now. Activision CEO Bobby Kotick himself acknowledged the game during a CNBC interview, saying that it will be released later this year.

“We have this product called DJ Hero coming out later this year, which is a turntable that you actually can play competitively and spin discs and mix songs,” he said.

As he says, the game will come with a turntable controller featuring three rhythm buttons, a cross-fader and various sound-effects dials. It will go up against Konami’s DJ-styled Beatmania games.
