Snail Games, developer of hit mobile hack ‘n slash dungeon crawler Taichi Panda, excitedly announced today the game’s new official spokesperson: UFC® women’s bantamweight champion, Ronda Rousey.
First we have Liam Neeson for Clash of Clans, Kate Upton and Mariah Carey for Game of War and now, Ronda Rousey will be joining the advertising war for Snail Games’ Tachi Panda.
Rousey, who on August 1st will take on Bethe Correia for UFC 190 in Rio de Janeiro, has become a well-recognized figure among action and martial arts fans, from her undefeated winning streak to her budding Hollywood acting career. Talking about her fighting background, Rousey called the new partnership “a really exciting step for me and for martial arts.”
In Taichi Panda, you have to beat down opponents using kung fu and magic. The game is about building up your warrior, taking on other players in matches, learning their weaknesses and playing up your strengths to win. In a lot of ways it’s similar to my own experience with MMA. You’ve got to strive to be the best, work hard to find that inner fighter and let it loose.
Launched earlier this year, Taichi Panda is an action RPG for mobile with strong influences from martial arts. Personally, I can’t wait to see her in future TV Commercials and hopefully, Snail Games will make her into a playable character!
One thing’s for sure, you definitely don’t want to fight her in real life.
