Activision has officially put a stop to their DJ Hero franchise including the development of 2011′s DJ Hero 3. The news comes with the announcement that the video game publisher is also putting a stop to Guitar Hero as well. Activision states:
“Due to continued declines in the music genre, the company will disband Activision Publishing’s DJ Hero business unit and discontinue development on its DJ Hero game for 2011.These decisions are based on the desire to focus on the greatest opportunities that the company currently has to create the world’s best interactive entertainment experiences.”
Guess this finally means the death of those music instrument based games. Even Eminem and Jay-Z couldn’t save the DJ Hero franchise. Time to put it to bed.
