Microsoft and Majesco have teamed up to bring an exclusive Zumba Kinect experience to fitness fans around the world. Zumba Fitness Rush features the most content of any Zumba Fitness game to date, including a significant amount of exclusive content on Kinect for Xbox 360.
The worldwide marketing program includes television, print advertising, media events, exposure through the Xbox LIVE Marketplace for the Xbox 360, a social media push, messaging throughout the extensive Zumba Instructor Network and collaborative retail promotions.
Majesco Entertainment is also announcing details of two downloadable dance style packs for Zumba Fitness Rush slated to release later this year. A three-song Bollywood style pack available in May addresses consumer demand for more of the trendy dance style and expands upon the Indian choreography in the game, and a Hip-Hop style pack out in September offers three additional songs that will include hit tracks from today’s popular artists. Each Game Add-on pack will be available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace for 400 Microsoft Points.
