News: Halfbrick has released their newest title on Xbox One which has a lot of new content for both new and returning players.

Fruit Ninja Kinect 2 is now available on Xbox One according to Halfbrick. Fruit Ninja Kinect 2 boasts a smorgasbord of content for new and returning players, featuring nine distinct game modes, four-person multiplayer, exclusive mini games, and a new progression system. With an increased focus on movement and dexterity, Fruit Ninja Kinect 2 is designed to get gamers off the couch and on their feet. Players can dodge shurikens, avoid spotlights, or strike a pose in comical mini games.

The new Kinect sensor plays a pivotal role, allowing developer Hibernum Créations to implement a number of features which were not previously possible. Party Mode is a prime example, giving up to four players the ability to jump in and out of the action as matches progress. In a series first, all modes can be played co-operatively with a friend or family member. Those looking for a more serious challenge can up the ante in Battle Mode, where new power-ups like Bomb Attack and Fast Forward are used to hinder opponents in a tasty tug-of-war.

“The Kinect is an amazing peripheral with a wealth of untapped potential,” said Shainiel Deo, chief executive at Halfbrick. “We’re excited to show developers that, with the right team and the right idea, Kinect games have the ability to revolutionize the living room.”

“Our goal was to create the premier Kinect experience for entire families,” added Louis-René Auclair, Vice-President and Chief Brand Officer at Hibernum. "Whether you're young, old, short or tall, this is a game that everyone will enjoy for months and years to come."

Fruit Ninja Kinect 2 is available for $14.99 on the Xbox store. If you play it, record yourself with Kinect and then share it on social media you also have the chance to win another Xbox One with a year of free Xbox Live. Check out the trailer below and tell us what you think.
