DJ Hero wasn't exactly chart-topping success, but Activision is still committed to turning the title into a viable franchise. No surprise then that CEO Bobby Kotick has confirmed that the much-rumored sequel will be hitting this year.

Speaking with Game Informer, Kotick said, "If you're going to make a commitment to doing something original, the odds are that you're not going to get it right on the first chance."

Kotick called DJ Hero a "really innovative product," and reiterated that Activision is sticking with the franchise.
