SSX: Deadly Descents Slides into View

"An entire genre was born from the original SSX a decade ago, and it's time to reboot one of the most popular franchises of all-time in an unpredictable and unexpected way," said Peter Moore, President, EA SPORTS. "Fans have been begging for this since the launch of this generation of consoles, and we have an experience that will be worth the wait. This franchise has always been about racing, tricks, characters and fun - SSX: Deadly Descents will deliver all of that, and more, on a global scale, with rich online experiences, and with the sense of adventure never before imagined on a snowboard."

SSX: Deadly Descents will pit riders versus both mountain and man. Players will explore the story of a team who seek to be the first to descend the faces of the most treacherous mountain ranges on the planet. The team will travel the world to face the worst that Mother Nature can throw at them. From the peaks of the Himalayas, where the air is so thin that riders have to descend through the death zone at breakneck speeds to keep from blacking out, to the solid ice ranges of Antarctica, where a sunlit line is the only survival option when temperatures drop 50 degrees centigrade in the shade. And the mountain isn't the only danger players will face. In SSX: Deadly Descents the first goal is to survive. The second, in true SSX fashion, is to look good doing it.

One of the few highlights of last week's VGA awards show was the announcement by EA of the upcoming SSX sequel. The game is currently under development at the company's Vancouver, Canada studios and is expected to launch in the spring of 2011. One of the most fun games of all time, and easily the best snowboarding franchise is finally getting an upgrade on current-generation consoles. A stunning reinvention of the classic action snowboarding franchise, EA promises that SSX: Deadly Descents will live up to its predecessors in terms of quality and scale. The developers have confirmed that the game will contain a colorful cast of characters, and will span across not just one mountain, but a whole series of different mountain environments from around the world.
