LOS ANGELES--Over the weekend, domain name registrations hinted that Microsoft would use its E3 2011 media briefing to unveil Dance Central 2 and Kinect Sports 2, and that's exactly what happened.

Today at the company's briefing, Harmonix officially confirmed that Dance Central 2 is in development. The news comes as little surprise, as the Boston-area developer confirmed that it would be unveiling a new title at E3 2011.
