New Boxing Game in Development by Legendary Developer Dimps

The Ring Magazine has announced a new boxing game is in development, although it’s not something many expected. Boxing had its first notable game in many years when Undisputed – developed by Steel City Interactive – launched last year and although it was a solid attempt, it left a lot to be desired by fans.

The Ring is going with a different approach however as they’re hiring Japanese studio Dimps, who’s president is Takashi Nishiyama for a Boxing game featuring original characters rather than a simulation fighter with established boxers.

It’s unknown whether the gameplay will be something like a traditional fighting game or perhaps even something arcade style like Ready 2 Rumble Boxing as development hasn’t gone in deep yet.

Takashi Nishiyama is well known for being the creator of both Street Fighter and Fatal Fury: King of Fighters, two of the most influential fighting games ever. Outside of that, Dimps is also known for designing the combat for Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter V as well as other fighting games like Dragon Ball Z Budokai.

As a boxing fan and fighting game fan, the prospect of something like this excites me so I can’t wait to see more on it. The game is likely still a ways off as development hasn’t gotten out of the concept phases but it’s something that’ll ill keep my ear to the ground about.

A lifelong gamer who enjoys playing on every platform. Eventually, I grew to love fighting games in particular and began to compete and even win competitions for some games, primarily the 2013 revival of killer instinct. Outside of gaming I also have aspirations of being a comic book artist with a few ideas of my own im developing in my head. When reviewing any game I try to keep my mind open and avoid nitpicking too much. It takes a lot for something to detract me from truly enjoying it so I may not focus on smaller details the way some others might do. I enjoy almost any genre, just don't ask me to play horror games or puzzle games.
