EA lets slip that its space combat title for Xbox LIVE Arcade will be available from Wednesday.

According to Xbox360Fanboy EA's second Xbox LIVE Arcade title, Wing Commander Arena, will be available to purchase from Wednesday morning.

The arcade, multiplayer, space combat title will carry an 800 Microsoft Point price tag and offers something for the lonesome single-player, plus online multiplayer where up to 16 players can battle in team or free-for-all modes.

It seems that it's multiplayer where gamers will get most enjoyment. The online mode features eight maps, 18 ships and a host of weaponry including cloaking devices, torpedoes and mines.
