BBC Multimedia, the software publishing division of BBC Worldwide, has come out with what it claims is a groundbreaking new project. This brings together television and the Internet with the world of computer gaming.

The FightBox concept, which premiers on BBC Television in the UK later this year, will be brought to the PC, PlayStation 2 and Game Boy Advance/SP, following the TV show's transmission.

FightBox, the entertainment concept, brings together the Internet, TV and computer gaming in a way never seen before. FightBox fuses game and studio technology to bring a futuristic new gladiatorial sport to life. Set in a specially created arena, before a live studio audience and millions of TV viewers, contestants will pit their digitally created warriors against the show's immortal guardians, the FightBox Sentients, in hand-to-hand combat and contests of skill and agility.
