Electronic Arts Inc. announced today that an all-new fighting title is in development at EA Tiburon in Orlando, under the EA SPORTS brand. EA SPORTS MMA will be available in 2010 on the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system and the PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system.

EA SPORTS MMA will feature the most authentic, intense and broad mixed martial arts experience to date - complete with a vast array of top fighters and fighting styles from around the world. 

"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," said EA SPORTS President Peter Moore.  "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, in an immersive interactive experience, 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."
