SUN is set to bring the action packed ‘Art of War’ fighting competition to the Xbox360. According to MacReport, SUN Sports & Entertainment Inc., partnered with Barking Lizards LLC and Summit Advisory Partners has formed MMA Games LLC to create the new Art of War video game.
According to Barking Lizard Technologies CEO Drew Fisher stated, “‘Art of War’ for the Xbox 360 is being developed as a cutting edge fighting game that focuses on and reinforces the Art of War fighting competition. The game will be built using the latest techniques to deliver a compelling and innovative game mechanic specially designed for this type of fighting. In addition, the game will use likenesses of the current and future stars of the ring in new and fantastical ways, extending their capabilities beyond that of mere mortals.”
The Art of War Fighting Championship out of China is an exciting series of mixed martial arts matches between opponents representing every martial arts style imaginable. SUN hopes to maintain the essence of the fighting style while providing fun and challenging game play. The element of fantasy will give the characters a larger than life profile. The company believes that keeping Art of War both light hearted and action packed will make it stand out in a crowded fighting game market.
