The Warriors coming to XBLA in scrolling brawler form photo

This is a bit of an odd duck, but it's been announced that The Warriors is heading to Xbox Live Arcade as a brand new videogame. Published by Paramount Digital Entertainment, this new game is in celebration of The Warriors' 30th anniversary, and takes the form of a scrolling brawler.

CTXM, known for previous XBLA titles Heavy Weapon and Feeding Frenzy, are taking the development reigns on this one, and there's no connection to the Rockstar-developed Warriors title of last generation. 

The game is scheduled for a summer release, and will join a host of other celebratory products, including a comic book series.

Awesome. This works for me since the old game isn't backwards compatible.

And again, people never read the articles. This game has nothing to do with The Warriors game for X-Box. Sadly. Because having that game with online co-op would be awesome.

So good. I'm excited already. I hope it doesn't such balls like heavy weapon and feeding frenzy.

I wish they would make the old xbox one backward compatible tho. that'd be the cats pajamas.

I hope this is good, though I'd probably get it regardless. I love that movie. I'm with the others who've said that the Roackstar game + backwards combatibility or an online enabled remake would be awesome, but I'll still be looking forward to this...

This makes me cry that it isn't the older Warrior's game.

Sigh..... Screw Microsoft and their size cap. How about a PSN re-release of the last gen warriors game, Sony?

This might really, be sucky.

I got Feeding Frenzy for my old g/f to play while I was sick off my ass. She enjoyed it alot.

Saw the gameplay on gametrailers. Looks eh. I thought it'd be like the mini-game in The Warriors, but it's a brand new game.

I love the Warriors more than is humanly possible! Although I am not entirely sold on this concept yet.

Hopefully they will realize the last game did it right and treat this new one like a mildly updated version of it....CoD World at War style.

Yeah, I don't see why this isn't coming out on PS3, I'd much prefer to have it on there. But if it's a good game, I'll get it either way probably.

I played the old psp one- that one ruled, I do wonder if they are going to do it like the arcade game in the game- bad dudes/double dragon style since it says scroller

I really want to get into The Warriors, but have yet to do anything, really. Hopefully the developer can pull a Guerrilla Games and make an awesome game after two shitty ones.

Damn. I was hoping this was the original xbox game. I never got to pick that up, but I'd always heard nothing but praise for it.
