Activision Already Developing Wipeout 2 For Kinect, To Be Holiday Release

Based on the ABC hit show Wipeout and continuing the tradition of wickedly entertaining family fun, Activision and ABC Entertainment Group announced today Wipeout 2, is coming this holiday season for the Kinect for Xbox 360.

Oddly, it seems as if Wipeout was just released (it had a release date of June 14, 2011), and yet they aren’t wasting any time developing the next iteration for a release this year.

Wipeout 2 will offer updated, outrageous course designs across all platforms with obstacles and effects taken straight from the show’s summer and winter seasons.  Players must navigate around snow, ice, foam, and fan-favorite obstacles like the Sucker Punch Wall and Big Balls; which are making their triumphant returns alongside more than 50 others.  Extended gameplay on all systems encourages even more interaction and participation with family and friends.  Once again, all the wild and crazy action is narrated by the show’s hosts John Anderson and John Henson.

“I’m excited that the video game series is evolving just like our show,” said Matt Kunitz, Wipeout’s Creator and Executive Producer. “Players will experience all the fun of the new winter and summer courses without being sore in the morning!”

Wipeout 2 on Kinect for Xbox 360 will be available this holiday season. and has been rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and older by the ESRB.
