Majesco's successful dance fitness game
Zumba Fitness will receive a sequel for the Wii this holiday, the company announced Tuesday.
Unlike the original,
Zumba Fitness 2 will be developed by
Chime's Zoe Mode. The studio is no stranger to music games, having contributed to the
SingStar and
Dancing with the Stars franchises as well as created downloadable song packs for
Guitar Hero World Tour and
Guitar Hero 5.
"The
Zumba Fitness franchise of video games connects the exhilarating Zumba dance workouts loved by millions with uniquely interactive console platforms that are accessible and fun for consumers of all ages," said Majesco CEO Jesse Sutton.
The original
Zumba Fitness did quite well in both North America and Europe -- in fact, it
currently tops the UK charts. It was developed by Pipeworks Software.
In addition to the Wii, the sequel will also see release on another, unannounced console in early 2012.
