London, UK– 4th June, 2009 – The feral fury rages on as Activision announced today that X-Men Origins: Wolverine™ Uncaged Edition downloadable videogame content is now available for the Xbox 360™ and PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system. Inspired by 20th Century Fox’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine, in theaters everywhere, players can now download the Weapon X Arena, a level composed of four unique combat simulators, from Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for 800 Microsoft Points and from the PlayStation®Store.
Custom Combat Arena
Gamers can spawn any combination of small and large enemies to face combinations not available in standard gameplay, from hordes of grunts they can cut down in seconds to a complex mix of enemies, including a Sentinel Prototype, Jungle Grappler, Machine Gunners and more.
Ladder Challenge
Once players have encountered all enemies in the game, the Ladder Challenge room unlocks, presenting gamers with a preconfigured challenge. Enemy types and numbers start small and ramp up, flooding the room for fifty waves of increasingly difficult combat challenges.
Environmental Simulator
This room includes all the unique environmental weapons in the game, including broken tree branches that can be used as spears, forklift skids to throw enemies toward and computer consoles into which players can smash enemies—to name a few.
The Weapon X Arena also contains a bonus room with heightened enemy reaction effects.
