Dance Central 2, a follow-up to the Kinect launch title, is already in basic pre-production, project director Kasson Crooker has told MCV.

Dance Central will be released in the UK on November 10 alongside Kinect, and Harmonix believes it has the opportunity to repeat the success of Guitar Hero.

“I think that Dance Central has an opportunity to spark a phenomenon, much like the original Guitar Hero did,” Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopulos explained.

“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.”

After the disappointing launch of Rock Band 3 – in the UK at least – all eyes are now on Dance Central to pick up the music genre baton.

Just Dance has enjoyed huge success on Wii and Harmonix will be hoping its more sophisticated, Kinect-powered experience proves just as popular on Xbox 360.
