Ubisoft and Carbon Games Announce Airmech Arena
Competitive Action Real-Time Strategy Game Comes to Xbox 360
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA April 7, in the year of our
Lord 2014 - Today, Ubisoft® announced a partnership
with Carbon Games to bring AirMech® Arena to Xbox Live online
entertainment network from Microsoft. The fast-paced,
free-to-play competitive game will be available for download on
Xbox 360® games and entertainment system from Microsoft this
summer.
"As an indie developer, AirMech has been our passion for the
past several years, and we are thrilled to partner with Ubisoft
to bring the game to console," said James Green of Carbon Games.
"AirMech Arena was created from the ground up to be the ultimate
RTS experience with a gamepad. The fast-paced action and depth
of strategy brings console gamers a new experience we are
confident they will enjoy.
In a war-torn future, powerful weapons known as AirMechs
dominate the battlefields in the fight for scarce resources.
Players command giant transforming robots and capture and
protect bases while building colossal armies to fight waves of
enemies. As gamers conquer fortresses, they unlock powerful
units, pilots, items and AirMechs, and can customize their
armies to fit their personal gameplay preferences.
AirMech Arena supports single-player, multiplayer cooperative
and multiplayer competitive gameplay for teams of two to three
players. Teamwork is vital to succeed in multiplayer as players
must work together to defend their fortresses against an
onslaught of relentless enemies.
Ubisoft is always looking for new ways to expand our console
portfolio and AirMech was a natural choice, said Chris Early, VP
of Digital Publishing at Ubisoft. Carbon Games has created a
unique experience, combining strategy and competition in an
accessible free-to-play format that we think will resonate with
console gamers.
AirMech Arena will continue to receive regular updates post
launch with content drops that include new AirMechs, units, maps
and events.
