Activision and ABC Entertainment Group have announced that  Wipeout In the Zone is coming this summer to Kinect, controller-free games and entertainment, for Xbox 360.  Based on the ABC hit show Wipeout,  Wipeout In the Zone  will be the latest release in this hit video game franchise and will have players running, ducking, dodging and wiping out using Kinect for Xbox 360's full-motion capabilities right in their own living room.


"The ABC hit show Wipeout continues to thrill a growing fan base of viewers with hilarious new obstacles. Everyone who watches the show wishes they could try the obstacle course — and now this is their chance!" said David Oxford, Activision Publishing. "The show is all about absurd movement and well-timed balance, so it's a perfect fit for a Kinect game."


Wipeout In the Zone  features over thirty outrageous obstacles that will test players' limits in more ridiculous ways than ever. Players can try to run the entire course in one shot, conquering one challenge after another, such as leaping over a pool of water using the infamous "Big Balls" and maneuvering their players to avoid being pummeled by the "Smack Wall Sweeper." Once again featuring the talents and hilarious commentary of the show's hosts, John Anderson, John Henson and co-host Jill Wagner,  Wipeout In the Zone  will bring hours upon hours of fun and laughter for the entire family.


"We are thrilled to be continuing our successful relationship with ABC and Activision," said David Goldberg, Chairman of Endemol North America. "Not only is this new 'Wipeout' game filled with even more humor, spills and thrills, but now the entire family can play interactively with the new full motions capabilities. This game introduces a new level of excitement for Wipeout fans of all ages to play."


Wipeout  In The Zone will be Kinect ready for the Xbox 360, and available on retail shelves this summer in conjunction with the premier of Wipeout's summer season on ABC.
