EA Gives Us Our First Look At Some SSX Gameplay

EA Have just released a new gameplay trailer for the SSX: Deadly Descents, the revamped and redefined next installment of the highly popular SSX franchise.

SSX: Deadly Descents will pit riders versus both mountain and man. Players will explore the story of a team who seek to be the first to descend the faces of the most treacherous mountain ranges on the planet. The team will travel the world to face the worst that Mother Nature can throw at them. From the peaks of the Himalayas, where the air is so thin that riders have to descend through the death zone at breakneck speeds to keep from blacking out, to the solid ice ranges of Antarctica, where a sunlit line is the only survival option when temperatures drop 50 degrees centigrade in the shade. And the mountain isn’t the only danger players will face. In SSX: Deadly Descents the first goal is to survive. The second, in true SSX fashion, is to look good doing it.

SSX: Deadly Descents is in development at EA Canada and will ship under the EA Sports brand, and not the old skool EA Big brand (anyone remember that?). It will be available for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 sometime next year. Sorry Wii and PC gamers, no SSX madness for you.
