Electronic Arts is showing off screenshots to go along with their announcement of the latest version of the Def Jam fighting title. Def Jam: Icon is being developed by EA Chicago, the same team that worked on Fight Night.
The character design and background visuals are fairly impressive and almost photo-realistic. This might be the first Def Jam title I finally mess with.
Here is the blurb from EA:
EA Chicago is delivering star-stunning action and bone breaking beats as players live out the life of a hip hop mogul, going from rags to riches. Incorporating hip-hop culture into every aspect of the game, DEF JAM: ICON will deliver the intensity of a no-holds-barred street fight but with style and rhythm. Music will effect how players fight in each venue and environmental interactions and hazards will become a key strategy to staying alive.
