\nSteel Battalion Heavy Armor was officially announced by Keiji Inafune, Capcom\u2019s Head of R&D Management Group and Contents Management Division, earlier today to an audience of media from across the globe at Microsoft\u2019s Tokyo Game Show Keynote Address. \u201cThe announcement of Steel Battalion Heavy Armor is further testament to Capcom\u2019s commitment to produce innovative titles that take advantage of the latest technology\u201d, commented Keiji Inafune. \u201cWith Kinect\u2019s ability to track your joints and movements and understand where the player is in 3D space and the development expertise of From Software in partnership with Capcom\u2019s own personnel, we are confident of delivering a truly immersive experience for Xbox 360 gamers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe are thrilled to once again work with our partners at Capcom and From Software to develop exclusive, innovative titles,\u201d said Matt Barlow, General Manager, Interactive Entertainment Business Marketing for Microsoft. \u201cIt\u2019s exciting to see publishers evolve renowned franchises like \u2018Steel Battalion\u2019 with Kinect to create gameplay that you can only experience on Xbox 360.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nSet in 2082, Steel Battalion Heavy Armor depicts a world devoid of computers, where war is waged with rudimentary weapons as new superpowers struggle for dominance. In a twist of fate, the US army has been forced to begin major landing operations on what was once its own soil. In this low-tech era there is one weapon class that will determine the course of the war \u2013 the Vertical Tank. VTs are guaranteed to instil fear in enemy forces when they burst onto the battlefield; but they are nothing without the crews who man them. Lacking computer aided weapon and piloting systems, these brave men and women must now rely on skill, intuition and each other to ensure victory.<\/p>\n
