The standard and deluxe editions are now available on the PlayStation Store and are priced at $39.99 for the Standard Edition and $49.99 for the digital Deluxe Edition, which boasts an additional 22 “Glow” costumes. Previous digital owners of the original PS VR game can upgrade to the enhanced and expanded PS VR2 version for $19.99 (Standard Edition) or $29.99 (Deluxe Edition). Meta Quest 2 owners will receive CHAMPIONSHIP EDITION as a free content upgrade.
An evolution of the highly successful CREED: RISE TO GLORY VR game, CREED: RISE TO GLORY – CHAMPIONSHIP EDITION brings players back to the ring, this time with a fresh set of gloves. Go toe-to-toe with familiar and unexpected contenders to establish your boxing legacy in a heart-pounding and cinematic experience. You play as Adonis Creed, son of heavyweight champion Apollo Creed, as you train hard in the gym under the tutelage of the legendary Rocky Balboa. As you make your way up the ranks, go “one round at a time” against iconic franchise characters across different arenas to prove that you have what it takes to become a champion.
CHAMPIONSHIP EDITION delivers breathtaking technical, performance, and quality-of-life upgrades over the original, utilizing the power of PlayStation 5 (PS5) and PlayStation VR2 to deliver the excitement and challenge of a high-stakes match in the ring.
Players will experience brand-new game content including the new Legacy story arc inspired by the CREED III film (eight new chapters), three new arenas, and an impressive roster of eight additional fighters. Previously exclusive for the Meta Quest 2, Endurance Mode will also be making its debut on the PS VR2, which allows players to brawl by removing the virtual stamina systems and scaling opponent difficulty to truly pull no punches. Additionally, both games will receive a new Fitness Mode to track calories and match sessions to meet personal health and fitness goals.
“It’s been an amazing journey working with partners like MGM and Michael B. Jordan, and we are delighted to revisit the Creed universe and make this the best version yet,” said TQ Jefferson, Chief Product Officer at Survios. “With the enhanced tech features of the PS VR2, CREED: RISE TO GLORY has never felt more immersive. I have gone a few rounds with Adonis Creed in the game, and after receiving some of his signature blows on the PS VR2 and experiencing its incredible haptics, I hope fans will be as in awe as I am.”
Robert Marick, Head of MGM Consumer Products, said, “CREED III was a box office hit, and we are proud to work with Survios on creating CREED: RISE TO GLORY – CHAMPIONSHIP EDITION to include the CREED III universe within it. We are confident fans of CREED and new audiences alike will enjoy and immerse themselves in the extended storytelling of CREED III in VR”.
