Spike TV and 345 Games have teamed up to release Bellator: MMA Onslaught for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 this summer. This will be the first MMA video game branded with "Bellator" to date.

Since this has just been announced, there are no screen caps or promo videos yet available for us to check out the game play. However, the developers have stated that players will be able to create their own characters within the game.

“Bellator has a roster of many of the world’s most exciting fighters, and we are thrilled to work with 345 Games to let fans experience our organisation in a whole new way,” said the CEO of Bellator, Bjorn Rebney. "Fans can now get in the cage with ‘Bellator: MMA Onslaught’ and either fight with or against Bellator’s finest.”

This new MMA video game will provide an alternative and some healthy competition to the UFC video games that currently dominate the gaming industry. It's safe to bet that the UFC Undisputed team is already diligently working on their answer to "MMA Onslaught." Although UFC Undisputed 3 was only just released last month, it has already been met with harsh criticism, mainly due to various glitches discovered by gamers. Bellator's new MMA game is poised to take advantage of this if their game can steal the thunder of the UFC Undisputed series.

The sixth season of Bellator premiers this Friday on MTV2. featuring a headlining fight between Joe Warren and Pat Curran for the featherweight belt.

Again, the video games will come out this summer, but the official release date has yet to be announced. Stayed tuned for more info.
