Fighter Within, Ubisoft’s Kinect fighting game, has now been officially announced with an accompanying trailer and screenshots.
According to Ubisoft, “Fighter Within makes full use of Kinect for Xbox One technology, providing players the excitement of a real fighting competition while battling their friends to earn their bragging rights.”
As well as the trailer shown above, Fighter Within is also available to play on the Gamescom show floor, where someone has already recorded footage of the game in action.
The footage, which was posted on All Games Beta, shows two players using Kinect to fight each other in the game.

Good news, Origin customers – as a gesture of goodwill, EA has launched a new initiative offering timed refunds for EA published games bought on its digital distribution system.
‘The Origin Great Game Guarantee’ will offer a full refund to PC and Mac customers dissatisfied with any EA game within 24 hours of launching it, within seven days from purchase, or within the first seven days after the game’s release date if you pre-ordered it, whichever comes first.
According to the Great Game Guarantee F.A.Q, the refund process is very simple. “Just visit your order history and click the “request a refund” link next to your recent purchase, answer a few quick questions, and we’ll take it from there.”
Right now, the service understandably excludes third-party titles, but EA stresses this could change in the future. “We’re continuing to explore how we can expand the program over time in with games from other publishers and developers,” the F.A.Q reads.
The Great Game Guarantee is effective starting today in 20 countries. To see if your country is eligible and to check out the fine print, here’s the info posted on Origin’s website. And hey, while you’re at it, why not check out EA’s awesome humble bundle deal and donate some money to charity?
