Boxing fans have reason to celebrate as the long-awaited video game Undisputed is finally set to launch on October 11 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. The game will feature Canelo Alvarez as the Standard Edition cover athlete and Tyson Fury as the Deluxe cover athlete. Fans who pre-order the game will receive a playable version of Roy Jones Jr. from 1993. With over 70 licensed boxers and recent gameplay improvements, Undisputed is generating a lot of excitement in the gaming community.
The trailer for Undisputed showcases stunning visuals and highlights two key matchups: Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk and Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford, which are both highly anticipated fights in the real world. The release of the game coincides with the upcoming Fury-Usyk fight for the undisputed heavyweight championship. This strategic timing adds to the anticipation surrounding the game’s launch and could further increase its popularity among boxing fans.
The trailer for Undisputed also features brand placements for Riyadh Season, indicating financial support from the group for the game’s development. Turki Alalshikh, the face of Riyadh Season in combat sports, aims to make the Canelo-Crawford fight happen in late 2024 or early 2025. With Crawford set to fight on an American card backed by Alalshikh in August, the potential for a blockbuster match between Canelo and Crawford is becoming more realistic, thanks in part to the excitement generated by the game.
This release marks the first console boxing game since EA Sports’ Fight Night Champion in 2010, sparking a renewed interest in video game boxing among fans. As Undisputed garners attention and success leading up to its release, other gaming companies like EA will be keeping a close eye on the reception of the game. If Undisputed proves to be a hit, it could pave the way for a resurgence of boxing simulation games in the gaming industry, potentially leading to more offerings for boxing fans in the future.
The combination of talented cover athletes, exciting matchups, and high-quality gameplay in Undisputed has generated a buzz in the gaming community and among boxing enthusiasts. The upcoming release of the game aligns with significant real-world boxing events, adding to the overall excitement surrounding the game. With the support of Riyadh Season and the potential for blockbuster matchups in the real world, Undisputed is poised to be a success and could pave the way for a resurgence of boxing video games in the industry.
Fans can look forward to immersing themselves in the world of boxing once again with the release of Undisputed on October 11. With the promise of realistic gameplay, a roster of top boxers, and the potential for dream matchups, the game is poised to bring the excitement of boxing to gaming consoles in a way that hasn’t been seen in over a decade.
