New DanceDanceRevolution steps onto 360 in 2011

The wait is over, as Konami has announced that DanceDanceRevolution is making its return to the Xbox 360 in 2011.

The publisher says the game will be the same old DDR fans know and love, pad play and all — no announced Kinect support here, folks. The title will feature two modes: Dance Off and Club Mode.

Dance Off has four players swapping on turns on the mat, with “special gimmicks” thrown in for “an extra level of challenge.” The Club mode is being positioned for “hardcore” players, a 20-song back-to-back setlist with varying difficulties depending on how well they’re performing. Club mode will even support the ultra-difficult “Challenge Level,” which throws diagonal arrows into the mix.

DanceDanceRevolution for 360 will feature of 50 songs, with 20 licensed tracks and more than 30 original Konami jams. The title will support downloadable content, so if your legs don’t give out before you’ve dance to the on-disc numbers, you’ll have something to look forward to.
