Dutch trance superstar DJ Tiesto has let slip that he’s involved in the development of a DJing version of Guitar Hero in his latest email newsletter.

“We are proud to announce that Tiësto has teamed up with the game developer Activision and their latest project DJ Hero,” read the announcement. It continued: “I am very excited about this! I think this is a great way to introduce people into DJing”.

Although Activision has never confirmed that it was planning a DJ Hero game, in February 2008 the company filed to trademark the name DJ Hero.

It’s unclear at this point what Tiesto’s involvement will be - whether his tracks are included in the game, or if he helped the company come up with actual game play, but he continued: “Maybe they realise 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!”
