EA has recently announced that they’ll be bringing their space fighter franchise into Xbox Live Arcade this summer, allowing up to 16 players to play free-for-all or team-based combat.

“Wing Commander Arena is a fast-paced space combat game where players can team up to attack other teams of ships. The game introduces the classic franchise to an arcade-style experience that allows up to 16 players online in battle at once. Players can propel their customized ship through space, fire torpedoes and unleash deadly gravity bombs as they try to climb the leader board. Online players will compete for Frag count, high score and dueling stats.”

Despite how unimpressive “firing torpedoes” and “unleashing deadly gravity bombs” sounds (pretty much any other arcadey space shooter, right?), the game still sounds like it could be a lot of fun.
