In this behind-the-scenes video, renowned commentator Todd Grisham delves into the intricacies of Undisputed, covering everything from the title’s realistic fighting mechanics to the extensive star-studded roster of current and legendary fighters, and how players can cement a legacy in the ring in Career Mode.

A Deeper Look:

Knockout Realism

With over 60 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, or uppercut can drop your opponent to the canvas. The deep control system ensures a strategic balance between offense and defense, 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 personalized 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 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.

Taking the Fight to Others

If you’re starting to believe in your own hype, then it’s time to put your skills to the test and deliver that knockout punch with Undisputed’s local and online multiplayer game modes. Go glove-to-glove with friends for a casual fight or challenge boxers from across the globe to climb the ranked leaderboard. No matter the occasion, there is a contest for every player.

Prize Fights

Step into the ring and overcome unique in-ring challenges where every punch matters. 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 fighting spirit.

About Shrek Special Pack

Equipped with your trusty array of Power Washers, it’s your quest to bring this world back to its vibrant, fairy tale glory. Some of you may get wet, but that is a sacrifice we’re willing to make. So, what exactly will you be washing?

  • Shrek’s Swamp – Restore Shrek’s Swamp to its former *ahem*  glory  after being covered in glittery goop in this super-satisfying, high-contrast clean-up. You can even go inside his home, and marvel at the incredible attention to detail paid to making it feel authentic to the movies. Well, after you’ve cleaned up all the gunk, of course.
  • Duloc – In Duloc, you’ll discover a collection of art left behind by some disgruntled (but artistically gifted) knights.
  • Fairy Godmother’s Potion Factory – This iconic location from Shrek 2 has been meticulously recreated, complete with working machines. It’s down to you to de-gunk them, you wouldn’t want to gum up the inner workings of the Fairy Godmother’s potion empire, would you?
  • Dragon’s Lair – This glittering hoard is not so shiny anymore – cue your arrival! As you clean it, you’ll discover more than just gold and gems – you’ll also reveal some tasty details for fans of the Shrek universe.
  • Hansel’s Honeymoon Hideaway – This candy-coated cottage has seen better days. Bring it back to its gingerbread glory in this deliciously detailed job.

As you play and spray, you’ll receive messages from some familiar faces and, in usual PowerWash fashion, the campaign is playable with a friend in co-op, or up to six players in free play. That means you can wash up late sharing manly stories, and in the morning one of you can make waffles.

World of Tanks Returns to TwitchCon San Diego 2024

World of Tanks PC is thrilled to announce its triumphant return to TwitchCon San Diego 2024. It has been five years since our last TwitchCon, and we are making a huge comeback in San Diego! From September 20 to 22, tankers, gamers, and streamers from all communities can come to Booth 2623 in Hall F for cool swag, big tank battle action, face time with the WoT team, and interactions with content creators.

“Attending TwitchCon after a long time away is exciting and reinvigorating.

However, one lucky player will get the chance to command the fearsome Waffenträger alongside its squad of AI-controlled vehicles, battling like a boss to take down the Harrier Squad.

Joining us at TwitchCon are the top World of Tanks PC content creators, including Dakillzor, Mouzakrobat, QuickyBaby, and Skill4ltu whose crew will command the Harriers. The World of Tanks player-facing staff, including Tragicloss, CommanderAF, Nicholas Moran (aka the Chieftain), and eekeeboo, will be on-site, ready to engage with the community, answer questions, and share insights about the future of the game.

“The World of Tanks community of players is among the best in the world, and TwitchCon is the ultimate place to reconnect with them,” said Michael Broek. “Our return to TwitchCon is as exciting for the World of Tanks crew as it is for the players, and we cannot wait to see you all out there.”
