EA have announced the development of Facebreaker, a new EA Sports franchise in the works by that guys that brought us Fight Night Round 3. Facebreaker aims to revive the arcade boxing genre. In contrast to Fight Night's gritty realism, Facebreaker is about "rediscovering the joy of pummelling".
Laugh out loud as you pummel your opponent with a barrage of blows to the face and watch in satisfaction as your progress is illustrated by real-time facial deformation. With haymakers, face shots and body blows, wait for the right moment to drop a super punch to make your presence known. Taunt your adversaries and flaunt your talent, by tying one hand behind your back to add ultimate humiliation to your bout. In FaceBreaker, it just feels good to rearrange your opponent's face.
Facebreaker is aiming for a 2008 release on the Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3. Check out the first screenshot
