Little Orbit ist nicht gerade bekannt dafür, dass ihre Spieler eine hohe spielerische Qualität haben, trotzdem erfreuen sich ihre Videospiel-Umsetzungen bekannter Animationsfilme und -Serien wohl vor allem bei Kindern.

Jetzt hat der Publisher einen neuen Titel aus dem Kung Fu Panda-Universum angekündigt. In Kung Fu Panda: Showdown of Legendary Legends wird man ein waschechten Brawler mit Figuren wie Po, Monkey, Viper und 17 weiteren Kämpfern erleben. Neben einem Story-Modus für Einzelspieler wird es natürlich auch Mehrspieler-Modi geben, bei denen man sich ordentlich eins auf die Nuss geben kann. Zu Beginn soll der Titel die Charaktere aus den ersten beiden Filmen umfassen und dann zur Veröffentlichung von Kung Fu Panda 3 um einige Downloadinhalte erweitert werden. Die ersten Screenshots findet ihr in der angehängten Galerie und weitere Informationen bekommt ihr in der folgenden, englischen Pressemitteilung:
