Punching with your bicep


THQ has recently made it known that it will announce a new licensing deal that grants the publisher rights to release video games based on Zuffa LLC's Ultimate Fighting Championship. The rights will last until the end of 2011 and will apply to PC, handheld, and console platforms. The rights incorporate online, multiplayer, and downloadable capabilities.

While THQ still can't announce which developer is going to be responsible for the game, THQ's Vice President of Worldwide Publishing has revealed in an IGN interview that we should look forward to annual updates of the game.

No word yet on the ratings. However, Flock does reassure that they won't hold back in the making of the game, and if the ESRB demands that it be an M rated game, so be it. They really want to make a game that recreates the UFC experience.

It is also still unclear as to which systems their UFC games will be made for. However, they do note that given their good history with handhelds, and how well they're doing with PC games in Europe, that we shouldn't be surprised if we see a UFC title for the PC or a handheld.

As for those curious about next-gen console versions of UFC he says that they'll "create the right games for the right systems."
