Ubisoft has announced the development of PowerUp Heroes, a full-body combat game coming exclusively to Kinect for Xbox 360 this June.

Developed by Longtail Studios, PowerUp Heroes lets players transform their Xbox 360 avatar into a custom superhero to face off in a fight against the forces of evil.

Players control each move in combat by using their entire body to launch projectiles, dodge strikes and counter attacks.

Each Xbox 360 avatar becomes a custom playable superhero by donning a super suit complete with deadly powers and special abilities. After destroying an enemy in battle, the downed foe will be stripped of its suit with its power passed to the victor.

There are 20 super suits to collect including the mighty Necromancer suit which allows the player to control a horde of skeletons, and the Mentalist suit that gives the player the ability to break into their enemy’s mind.

Game modes also include two-player online battles, local two-player versus and four-player tournaments.
