Faster than an emcee can scream “rewind”, DJ Hero 2 comes out sooner than many anticipated. The sequel to last year’s high scoring DJ Hero launches in North America on October 19. Almost a year after the release of the hit Activision music title, word was officially confirmed for FreeStyleGames’ next entry for the “Hero” series putting it only 7 days before the release of the much-watched Rock Band 3 from EA Games and Harmonix. European wannabe scratchologists get their hands on the mega-title when it releases overseas on Oct. 22.

Polish off your turntable skills and ready a microphone for one of the most anticipated titles coming out this fall.
