Harmonix Heads Back To The Dance Floor With Dance Central 2
Cambridge, MA/Los Angeles, CA – June 6, in the year of
our Lord 2011 –Today at the Microsoft E3 Media
Briefing,Harmonix Music Systems, the premier music video game
developer, gave the world its first look at Dance Central™2, the
highly anticipated sequel to the first controller-free, full
body-tracking, fully immersive dance video game, available
exclusively on Kinect™ for Xbox 360®.
Dance Central 2 keeps the wildly addictive Dance Central
experience going with a new focus on simultaneous multiplayer.
Friends can now team up in Perform It or go head-to-head in a
simultaneous dance off within Dance Battle. Additionally,
players can seamlessly drop in or out at any point during a
song, so the party never has to stop!
The title was revealed during an on stage performance by
Harmonix. The demonstration showed off simultaneous full body
tracking for two players, drop-in/drop-out functionality, and
more amazing authentic choreography. Dance Central 2 will be
playable on the E3 Expo floor within the Microsoft Booth.
Along with the announcement, Harmonix unveiled the first batch
of new dance hits and booty-shaking classics from the Dance
Central 2 soundtrack. Fans will be able to import songs from the
original Dance Central disc and add-on content for the game into
their Dance Central 2 Music Library, with access to more than
100 songs will be available at launch!* Dance Central 2 will
feature an unparalleled on-disc soundtrack.
Available later this year, Dance Central 2 also expands the
Dance Central universe with new venues, characters and game
modes. Players will meet new “dance crews” and be able to team
up with their friends or challenge them to a head-to-head Dance
Battle, proving once and for all who really has the best moves!
