Tron announced for XBLA

360 News | Light cycles at the ready.
Retroheads rejoice - news has reached us that both Tron and its sequel, Discs of Tron, will be re-released this summer (or winter, for those down under) on the Xbox Live Arcade, exactly 25 years after Tron first appeared in arcades.

Essentially, there are four gametypes that make up Tron, with players having to battle tank forces, engage in light cycle combat, attack the MCP cone, and fight off grid bugs to enter the I/O tower. Meanwhile, in 1983 follow-up Discs of Tron, you get to scrap Sark, the defender of Master Control Program, in one-on-one battles taking place in 3D arenas. Players must move between platforms while throwing energy-charged discs at Sark, and deflecting oncoming discs to avoid being fried.

Each of the games will include the original version, as well as an enhanced version with new graphics and audio features. There'll also be the chance for players to compete in both games against another player in four online modes. Four shots of the enhanced version of Tron await you in the Media Panel.
