Electronic Arts today announced that it is creating FaceBreaker. This new IP is under development at EA Canada by the same creative team that made Fight Night Round 3. This arcade style boxing game is more along the lines of Punch-Out!! or Ready 2 Rumble with stylized pugilists and arcade style gameplay.

"We're very excited to announce FaceBreaker, an all-new franchise from EA Sports that is fun, fresh and innovative," said Peter Moore, president, EA Sports. "FaceBreaker reinvigorates one of the great genres in sports videogames. Arcade boxing takes me back to my roots in this industry, and this game signals our shift to adding more approachable fun to our product lineup. In no time at all, you'll be picking up the controllers and knocking your opponent around the ring, smashing faces, and having a riot."

FaceBreaker will release on PS3, Wii and Xbox 360.
