Ubisoft have this afternoon announced a new partnership with development studio Carbon Games to bring AirMech Arena to the Xbox360 exclusively as a digital download title. Originally released on the PC, there are plans to bring this fast-paced free-to-play game to the Xbox360 later this year.
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 customise 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.
James Green | Carbon Games
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. 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.
Thomas Painçon | EMEA FTP Publishing Director at Ubisoft Entertainment
We had our eye on AirMech and Carbon Games for quite a while before we approached them. AirMech Arena is a great addition to Ubisoft’s portfolio on console, bringing in competitive framework and strategy games into our strong console digital line-up.
