505 Games has announced a new Mixed Martial Arts title that they are working on in conjunction with Kung Fu Factory. Supremacy MMA promises to bring a new level of reality and fluidity to the fighting sub-genre, and we will get a chance to see more at the show. In the meantime, here is the press release.
505 Games, a global videogame publisher, along with Kung Fu Factory, an independent videogame developer specializing in hand-to-hand fighting games, today announced that Supremacy MMA will throwdown at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) from June 15-17.
Headed to Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, Supremacy MMA raises the bar in the MMA space by bringing an unprecedented level of fluid combat, intuitive controls and true-to-the-sport brutality under the guidance of the talent behind titles like the original UFC (Dreamcast), The Warriors, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, Scarface and most recently UFC Undisputed 2009.
"We're excited to partner with 505 Games to launch the Supremacy MMA brand," said Ricci Rukavina, creative director for Kung Fu Factory. "Kung Fu Factory's vision is to make an MMA game that is as authentic and realistic as possible that will introduce an entirely new type of experience to gamers. The team has an enormous amount of passion for the genre and has been relentlessly researching every aspect of the sport to deliver an MMA game unlike any other. When gamers play Supremacy MMA, we think it will absolutely knock them out."
"Years of honing our proprietary animation tools and technology have put us in a unique position to create a groundbreaking MMA game," said Daryl Pitts, executive producer of Kung Fu Factory. "Our vision is to adapt real-life martial arts strategies into fun and intuitive game mechanics. We want players to easily be able to enjoy the deep level of satisfaction that comes from mastering MMA techniques."
"The team at Kung Fu Factory have proven over the years that they alone have the expertise to bring a fighting game of this caliber to life, and we are thrilled to be collaborating with them on this project", said Adam Kline, president of 505 Games (US).
