EA
reintroduces the fun of pummeling
Electronic
Arts announced the introduction of a new arcade boxing franchise for
the EA SPORTS Label today. Under development at EA Canada,
FaceBreaker
is a highly
stylized take on boxing, with unique boxers, each with their own
personality and style. Players will get the chance to completely
rearrange their opponents' faces as each blow they land makes an
impression. The game also features super moves and talent tricks,
like playing with one hand tied behind your back. From what we're
seeing at the moment though,
FaceBreaker
just
looks like a non-cel shaded version of
Black & Bruised
.
However,
it is likely that there will be quite a few difference between the
two games, and considering the way Peter Moore, now President of the
EA SPORTS Label, speaks about it, it certainly sounds like it will be
a lot of fun. “
We’re
very excited to announce
FaceBreaker
,
an all-new franchise from EA SPORTS that is fun, fresh and
innovative.
F
aceBreaker
reinvigorates one of the great genres in sports videogames. Arcade
boxing takes me back to my roots in this industry, and this game
signals our shift to adding more approachable fun to our product
lineup. In no time at all, you’ll be picking up the controllers and
knocking your opponent around the ring, smashing faces, and having a
riot.”
FaceBreaker
will
be available for Wii, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 later this year.
