Gamecock Media Group today announced that the Blazing Lizard developed Xbox Live Arcade game, Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball, will hit the Xbox Live Arcade on September 3rd.  After months of waiting for a concrete release date, we finally know that it's less than a month away! Check out some of the other information about the title that we've found out about:

The option to have more than one ball in play – In single player, choose to have from 1 to 5 balls. In online multiplayer, the number of balls in play is determined by the team size (from 2-5 balls).

Traditional Dodgeball mode – This is old-school dodgeball with the field split down the middle. Characters cannot use special moves, and are automatically forced back to their side of the field if they cross the line.

Enhanced Dodgeball mode – This mode is similar to Traditional Dodgeball mode except characters can use special moves, and if you cross the middle line, you’re given a three second countdown before being forced to drop any balls in your hand and return to your side of the court.

All that as players choose from 4 teams - Pirates, Ninjas, Zombies, and Robots - and battle it out in large, beautifully rendered arenas.  Teams will consist up to 4 players, each with a unique special move, back-story and personality.  Players can also get close to opponents and use combat moves to gain the edge in the ultimate dodgeball experience.
