EA has announced that Wing Commander Arena will launch on Xbox Live Arcade Wednesday. As a part of the launch, Game Freaks 365 will participate in a 16 site tournament in Wing Commander Arena to win a prize pack from EA. The tournament will start with 2 rounds of 16 person free for all up to 25 frags. The 8 editors with the highest frag count at the end of those rounds advance to the next round which will be 1 round up to 25 frags. The 4 editors with the highest frag count at the end of that match go to a 4 man free for all up to 25 frags. The 2 editors with the most frags go to a hosted bear pit match to see who can get to 20 frags first.
