Halfbrick Studios, teaming up once again with Ian Fitz, the brilliant mind behind the original 2016 release, has finally unveiled the much-anticipated sequel to their hit boxing simulation. Gamers can now experience this fresh take on their Quest devices, as it hits Early Access.
The Thrill of the Fight 2 has been completely overhauled and is now available across various Quest platforms, including the Quest 2, Quest 3, Quest 3S, and Quest Pro. While fans of the first game enjoyed its PvE battles, the sequel spices things up with one of its most requested features: online PvP boxing.
According to Halfbrick Studios, this early release focuses solely on multiplayer modes. This gives eager players the opportunity to dive straight into online play without having to wait for future content. But don’t worry, there’s more in store: single-player content and enhancements to multiplayer will be gradually introduced throughout the early access phase.
The studio assures that development will carry on into 2025, introducing elements like single-player content with intelligent, competitive AI that adapts in both appearance and behavior. Plus, additional training modes are on the horizon. Players can expect continual updates during Early Access, which aim to enrich the overall experience and ensure an authentic and immersive boxing adventure.
In its current state, The Thrill of the Fight 2 boasts features like customizable avatars, an online PvP match system with skill-based matchmaking, and realistic physics that promise to deliver an authentic boxing vibe once more.
Additionally, for those who enjoy watching the action, the game includes a spectator camera. This feature allows viewers to enjoy your matches with a live sports broadcast feel, all from a connected PC.
