If you’ve been looking forward to the rebirth of the once-mighty SSX franchise, you’ll be happy to know that during its Season Opener event in San Francisco yesterday EA revealed that the revamped SSX will be targeting a release date in January 2012.

The game, which has dropped the ‘Deadly Descents’ subtitle, features numerous enhancements including all-new physics, environments without boundaries, and even the inclusion of wingsuits for a multitude of mid-air madness. The game’s Creative Director, Todd Batty, stated that SSX is expected to make its grand debut at this year’s E3.

Of course, we’ll get you more details on the new SSX as soon as they emerge, but for now, feel free to let us know how stoked you are for the game’s release early next year.
