Electronic Arts today announced that Celebrity Sports Showdown is in development at EA Canada. This title will feature 12 outdoor sports games and will be the first Wii title branded with the EA Sports Freestyle label. As the title implies, various celebrities like Keith Urban, Fergie, Reggie Bush and Kristi Yamaguchi will compete in games like volleyball, badminton, and archery in order "to determine who will be the ultimate celebrity athlete."
"We feel that this game is the EA Sports Freestyle answer to a great Wii party game. It explores the lighter side of sports and pulls inspiration from the entertainment spectacles that are so prevalent in pop culture today," said Dave McCarthy, Executive Producer. "Celebrity Sports Showdown will bring people to the party with a collection of games and celebrities that appeal to everyone."
Celebrity Sports Showdown will release on Wii during late 2008.
