Dance Central 2 in the works

Harmonix has laid out the long-term plan for its Kinect launch title Dance Central, with pre-production already underway on a sequel.

CEO Alex Rigopulos told MCV: I think that Dance Central has an opportunity to spark a phenomenon, much like the original Guitar Hero did.

"I sure as hell hope there will be a sequel. We certainly have a lot of creative ambitions for the future of Dance Central."

Project director Kasson Crooker added: We’re looking at basic pre-production for Dance Central 2 but are mostly working on DLC right now.

We want to make sure people like Dance Central first. If that happens, we can look at what they enjoyed about that experience and decide if we want to offer an addition to it.”

Dance Central launches with Kinect on November 10th.
