In this behind-the-scenes video, renowned commentator Todd Grisham delves into the intricacies of Undisputed, covering everything from the realistic fighting mechanics to the extensive star-studded roster of current and legendary fighters, to going toe-to-toe with the giants of boxing in Career Mode.

From the opening moments to its closing seconds, the trailer flawlessly immerses viewers in the authentic experience Undisputed promises – the most realistic boxing game released to-date.

Captured entirely in-game on PC, every punch, bruise and knockdown are shown in eye-watering detail. No ringside seat required; experience the thrill of the fight firsthand.

Undisputed - developed by Steel City Interactive and published by PLAION - makes its debut on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S and its full release on PC (Steam) from 8 October 2024 for those who purchase the Deluxe WBC Edition and 11 October 2024 for the Standard Edition.

A DEEPER LOOK:

Knockout Realism
With over sixty different punches, defensive tools and revolutionary footwork mechanics, Undisputed delivers the most authentic boxing gameplay experience ever seen.

Every hard-fought round sharpens your skills, where one well-timed jab, hook and uppercut can drop your opponent crashing to the canvas.

The deep control system ensures a strategic balance between offense and defence, where timing, combinations and ring movement are critical to victory.

Undisputed offers an unrivalled boxing experience that is accessible, intuitive, and most importantly, fun. Hit hard, hit fast, and never back down; going twelve rounds has never felt so rewarding.

Unrivalled Fighter Roster with Real-life Attributes and Fight Style
Players can choose from over 70 licensed male and female boxers, past and present, covering ten weight divisions.

Each fighter is meticulously grounded in realistic stats, traits and personalised AI to mimic their real-life counterparts.

Whether it is a current superstar such as Tyson Fury or Katie Taylor, or legends such as Joe Frazier or Roy Jones Jr., Undisputed brings together the most star-studded, realistic boxing line-up of the year.

Become the Champion
Do you believe you can you go the distance, collect the belts and become Undisputed? If so, then Career Mode is where your destiny awaits, one punch at a time.

Starting as an ambitious amateur in a local gym, you will build your profile through graft and KOs, patiently mastering skills and paving the way to become an elite fighter.

Negotiate contracts, choose your coaches and cutmen, and develop skills through training and sparring. Remember, champions aren’t born; they’re made with blood, sweat and grit. Get those gloves on.

With different fight conditions, such as which fighters are in the ring or which round you are jumping into, Prize Fights offer a unique opportunity to test your fight IQ.

New encounters will refresh monthly, offering endless opportunities to prove your mettle.
