EA announces Mixed Martial Arts

Electronic Arts has announced it will release EA Sports MMA on Xbox 360 and PS3 in 2010.

The latest addition to the EA Sports roster was unveiled during the publisher’s E3 press conference. It will deliver an authentic experience of mixed martial arts through a range of well-known fighting styles and top fighters from around the world.

EA Sports president Peter Moore said: With Fight Night Round 4 set to deliver a knockout with industry-leading visuals and genre-defining gameplay later this month, I couldn’t be more excited to announce the expansion of our combat sports strategy with EA Sports MMA coming in 2010.

Fans have been begging EA Sports to get into the cage, and EA Sports MMA will put them in control of the sport’s unique combat experience while finally capturing the raw intensity that has made mixed martial arts one of the fastest growing sports in the world. We’re ready for the fight.”
