They’re off to a good start – Tyson Fury, who appears on the special edition cover of the game – has been talking it up ahead of his big fight against Oleksandr Usyk.
Both appear in Undisputed as part of a 70-strong roster that includes legendary fighters past and present.
It’s taken four and a half years to get there, and studio head Ash Habib – who founded the company with his two brothers – says the game’s humble roots were a long way from the bright lights of a main event fight.
“It literally started with [retired boxer] Ryan Rhodes coming to my house sitting in my living room, showing him this concept that we’d created in a couple of months,” says Ash.
“He was like: ‘I’m down for this, I want to get involved.
“And that obviously opened up some doors.”
Ash says Ryan and other boxing industry contacts helped him to get the game in front of other fighters who also liked what they saw.
From there, the development team managed to broker deals to include some of the boxing world’s top talent, using motion capture and digital scanning to create lifelike versions for the game.
