DJ Tiesto - Image 1Mabie A. will surely go ballistic when she hears about this bit of news.The latest whispers about that never-set-in-stone DJ Hero title just notched two big details to its name: DJ Tiesto and a Summer 2009 release. This, via CVG.

Well, Activision Blizzard never really formally announced the title yet, but that's not stopping some details from squeezing into the light though. This news item comes from a newsletter circulating via email.

The email describes DJ Hero as a Guitar Hero spin-off much like the Aerosmith and Metallica editions. Of course, everyone assumes that, instead of guitars, we might be getting a new turntable-type of peripheral.

As for DJ Tiesto's active part in the game, the newsletter continues by saying that he will be providing the tracks for the game - tracks from his existing records, "as well as new music composed especially for the game." The newsletter includes a note from Tiesto himself:

I am very excited about this! I think this is a great way to introduce people into Djing. Maybe they realize it's not as easy as they think. I am sure this brings new fans to the scene, dance music is not far from hip-hop for example. Hopefully the music I have composed appeals to all kinds of fans!


C'mon, Activision, just spill the beans already! We know it's cooking somewhere in your labs!
