PAX '11 Tribes Ascend Announced For XBLA

High Voltage Software announced the return of the Tribes franchise this morning at the Penny Arcade Expo East. The developer is working on a brand new next-generation version of the venerable action series titled Tribes Ascend for the Xbox Live Arcade and other digital distribution services.

Not much is known about the game right now aside of the brief announcement trailer shown at PAX East. The trailer opens with 30 seconds of accolades from the press about previous entries in the series. The only real glimpse of the game we get comes in the form of the power suits player will don in the game. They are brightly colored with embedded lights and a full face mask. It kind of reminds me of Issacs suit in Dead Space.

Look for Tribes Ascend on the Xbox Live Arcade sometime in 2011. You can watch the PAX East debut trailer in the embedded player below.
