Publisher 2K Sports, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive
Software, has announced the development of Don King Presents:
Prizefighters for Wii.
Venom Games, the team behind Rocky and Rocky Legends for Xbox and PlayStation 2, will handle development of Prizefighters.
According to 2K Sports, "players will be responsible for building a
career by overcoming adversity, avoiding temptation, and balancing
their commitments to train and promote, all while focusing on the goal
of ultimately winning and defending the title belt." The realistic
boxing simulation will also employ a narrative style akin to
documentaries.
2K Sports did not specify how Wii's
functionalities will be utilized, stating only that the developers will
leverage " the unique hardware features of each platform."
"In
all my years working in professional boxing, I have never seen anything
come as close to recreating the thrill, the intensity, the courage and
the spectacle of the sport," said Boxing Promoter Don King. "Don King
Presents: Prizefighter is more than a game - it is a glimpse at what
life is like in and out of the ring for these incredible athletes."
Prizefighters is expected to be released during April 2008.
