Tokyo -- September 16, 2010 - Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today confirmed that Steel BattalionTM Heavy Armor is in development exclusively for the Xbox 360TM video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. Steel Battalion Heavy Armor will utilise Kinect, controller free games and entertainment only on Xbox 360, to deliver an immersive battlefield experience like no other.

Steel Battalion Heavy Armor was officially announced by Keiji Inafune, Capcom's Head of R&D Management Group and Contents Management Division, earlier today to an audience of media from across the globe at Microsoft's Tokyo Game Show Keynote Address. "The announcement of Steel Battalion Heavy Armor is further testament to Capcom's commitment to produce innovative titles that take advantage of the latest technology", commented Keiji Inafune. "With Kinect's ability to track your joints and movements and understand where the player is in 3D space and the development expertise of From Software in partnership with Capcom's own personnel, we are confident of delivering a truly immersive experience for Xbox 360 gamers."

"We are thrilled to once again work with our partners at Capcom and From Software to develop exclusive, innovative titles," said Matt Barlow, General Manager, Interactive Entertainment Business Marketing for Microsoft. "It's exciting to see publishers evolve renowned franchises like 'Steel Battalion' with Kinect to create gameplay that you can only experience on Xbox 360."

Set in 2082, Steel Battalion Heavy Armor depicts a world devoid of computers, where war is waged with rudimentary weapons as new superpowers struggle for dominance. In a twist of fate, the US army has been forced to begin major landing operations on what was once its own soil. In this low-tech era there is one weapon class that will determine the course of the war -- the Vertical Tank. VTs are guaranteed to instil fear in enemy forces when they burst onto the battlefield; but they are nothing without the crews who man them. Lacking computer aided weapon and piloting systems, these brave men and women must now rely on skill, intuition and each other to ensure victory.

[MauledByADuck]

@RoGDeantoir it's a cool setting but it doesn't explain why they changed their helmets back...

[Ceberus3232]

[MrHappyCatzz]

this reminds me of medal of honor when they storm omaha beach

[Fr0stOverOswego]

@MegaSeptim Note how its set in 2082.

[MegaSeptim]

Uhm,Are those ww2 (looking) ally soldiers using m16's? .-. Then again,Theres also mechs,But m16s kinda ruin the feel

[RevanFlashman]

@AaronAndersonRWP Chances are, it'll have some kind of kinect support as opposed to full kinect, but i'll give it a go.

[AaronAndersonRWP]

@RevanFlashman If it comes out as a kinect only game then that makes it worthless to me.
