Marina Del Rey, CA - July 26, 2011 - UTV Ignition Games today announced that it will partner with leading European publisher Black Bean Games and talented game developer Virtual Air Guitar Company to bring Kung Fu High Impact to Kinect™ for Xbox 360®.

The title will be available worldwide in November 2011 and will be published by Black Bean Games across the PAL territories and by UTV Ignition Games in the Americas, following the recent deal between the two companies.

"Black Bean Games is excited that our first simultaneous worldwide release will be a fresh, innovative, and terribly cool game for Kinect," said Luisa Bixio, managing director of Leader Spa, the company holding the Black Bean Games publishing label.

We believe we've got it."

Kung Fu High Impact is the first of its kind for Kinect for Xbox 360--a side-scrolling brawler that uses the peripheral's incredibly accurate body tracking technology to insert the real image of the player on screen. The gamer will be literally transported into the action, as he or she will be able to see real-life combat movements interacting with the enemies and objects on screen.
