505 Games and NaturalMotion Games have announced that next chapter of the Backbreaker franchise, Backbreaker Vengeance.

Slated for release on June 29th on Xbox Live Arcade and later this summer on the PlayStation Network, Backbreaker Vengeance "takes the intensity and AAA appeal of the original Backbreaker Football console game and combines it with the pick-up-and-play nature of the million-selling iPhone app to create a whole new one-of-a-kind sports experience for digital download."

“Backbreaker Vengeance is the perfect summer game and a great addition to the wildly successful Backbreaker franchise,” said Ian Howe, President, 505 Games North America. “Building on the instantly gratifying fun of Tackle Alley with new modes and moves, and with hundreds of intense levels, Backbreaker Vengeance is the total package for anyone who wants to jump into a game for a few minutes or a few hours.”

“Backbreaker has changed the way people play football video games,” said Torsten Reil, CEO of NaturalMotion. “Backbreaker Vengeance for Xbox LIVE Arcade takes everything we’ve learnt about truly live sports gaming and combines it with arcade gameplay for the fastest, most instantly playable football experience anywhere.”

The original Backbreaker was released on mobile platforms in late 2009 and then went on to consoles last year. The franchise has so far garnered over 5 million fans across the world, according to the press release, a testament to the success of the franchise.
