Ubisoft Uncages Fighters On Kinect News

Ubisoft has revealed via its raft of Gamescom announcements that it will be bringing a mixed martial arts-based fighting game called Fighters Uncaged exclusively to the Xbox 360's incoming Kinect device.

The game will launch this coming November when it will offer 70 different fighting moves based on gestures recognised by the Kinect peripheral, and 21 different locations to duke-it-out in including "dark alleys" (of course), "gritty city docks" (not just any city docks), rooftops, and an abandoned church (for some reason).

Both "voice-activated super strikes" and "jump-in multiplayer" will also be available in the game to take full advantage of Kinect's features, while a range of fighting opponents with varying martial arts styles and the ability to upgrade your fighter as you progress will no doubt keep things interesting.

"Fighters Uncaged is the first motion fighting game for Kinect, dedicated to a core audience," said Caroline Stevens, EMEA Director of Marketing at Ubisoft. "Fighters Uncaged requires players to get out of their seat to engage in a controller-free full-body combat game and experience the authentic fighting style of Thai boxing."
