The team has an enormous amount of passion for the genre and has been relentlessly researching every aspect of the sport to deliver an MMA game unlike any other. When gamers play Supremacy MMA, we think it will absolutely knock them out."
“Years of honing our proprietary animation tools and technology have put us in a unique position to create a groundbreaking MMA game,” said Daryl Pitts, executive producer of Kung Fu Factory. “Our vision is to adapt real-life martial arts strategies into fun and intuitive game mechanics. We want players to easily be able to enjoy the deep level of satisfaction that comes from mastering MMA techniques.”
