Fruit Ninja Gets Bigger, Better, Juicier With 'Fruit Ninja Kinect 2' for Xbox One
MONTREAL, February 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Sequel to classic Kinect party game launches worldwide on March 18th, 2015
The Fruit Ninja phenomenon is set to continue into the next generation with the
release of Fruit Ninja Kinect 2 for Xbox One, Halfbrick announced today.
Developed by Hibernum Creations in Montreal, Canada, Fruit Ninja Kinect 2 launches
exclusively for Xbox One on March 18, 2015, with five new game modes, four-person
multiplayer, a new progression system, and an expanded line-up of characters.
Fruit Ninja Kinect 2 builds on the success and foundations of 2011's breakout hit,
which took home "Best Casual Game" at the 15th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards. It
features all the excitement of the original title, plus five new game modes for the entire
family to enjoy.
Each mode takes place at the Blueberry Moon festival, and is presented by one of the
new Fruit Ninja team members - Katsuro, Mari, Han and Nobu. Players can dodge shurikens,
hack through a forest of bamboo, and avoid spotlights to become true masters of stealth.
Brand new multiplayer modes allow up to four players to jump in on the action, with
Battle and Party modes providing the perfect proving ground for seasoned competitors. A
new progression system is also present, allowing players to earn blades, dojos and belts
as challenges are completed.
"This is the most satisfying, complete, and accessible party game ever created," said
Shainiel Deo, chief executive at Halfbrick Studios. "The new Kinect sensor makes a world
of difference, and Fruit Ninja Kinect 2 has been built from the ground up to take full
advantage of the latest hardware."
"Fruit Ninja is our baby - it's what got us here today and we continue to maintain an
incredibly high quality bar," Deo added. "Hibernum have exceeded our expectations every
step of the way, and we think fans will get a huge kick out of the finished product."
"We are really excited to enter the console market with an amazing brand like Fruit
Ninja," said Louis-René Auclair, Vice-President and Chief Brand Officer at Hibernum. "It
was a pleasure to work with Halfbrick on this game and we are extremely proud of what
we've created together."
Fruit Ninja Kinect 2 is rated "E for Everyone" by the ESRB and will be available for
$14,99 USD on the Xbox Games Store. For further details, please contact
