Dance Dance Revolution X2, abbreviated DDR X2 or simply X2, is a music video game, and a part of the Dance Dance Revolution series. The arcade version of DDR X2 was revealed by Konami on November 20, 2009. A sequel to the Dance Dance Revolution X, X2 began public beta testing on November 25, 2009. The game is set to be released in Japan by the Spring of 2010.

Development

The first public location test for Dance Dance Revolution X2 was announced by Konami on November 20, 2009, to be held from the 25th to December 3, 2009 in Akihabara, Tokyo.^[1] The location test revealed new features such as a redesigned song selection interface, new adjustable versions of the Sudden and Hidden modifiers, and the ability to adjust these settings and the speed of the arrows in-game using the control buttons on the cabinet. The location test version did not contain an Extra Stage song, but a secret new song was accessible on the build if certain conditions are met.^[2]

Music

No full announcement has been made regarding the soundtrack of X2. Most licensed songs from Dance Dance Revolution SuperNova have been removed due to their licenses expiring, although producers have indicated that the licenses for some songs may be re-negotiated in order for them to be still included on X2. The first location test build contained 14 new songs, plus one secret song, Possession, which must be unlocked.^[2] 3 additional songs were added on an updated build installed several days after the testing began.^[3]
