Developed by Good Dog Studios, Martial Arts Tycoon: Brazil offers players the opportunity to build and manage their own martial arts empire in Rio de Janeiro, from training aspiring fighters in the favelas to organizing thrilling tournaments. With a unique blend of strategy, simulation and martial arts action, Martial Arts Tycoon: Brazil promises to captivate fans across a variety of genres.
“Martial Arts Tycoon is a passion project, marrying my personal interest in jiu-jitsu and love for Brazil, where I made my home for several years when I first left Infinity Ward,” said Glasco. “Our team is working hard to give players a snapshot of everyday life in the favelas and other iconic places like Copacabana and Ipanema. Brazil is one of the biggest emerging markets in games, with an enthusiastic audience and strong talent. We’re thrilled to be part of this thriving development community and to be sharing our game with everyone today here at the BIG Festival.”
Martial Arts Tycoon: Brazil is slated for release on PC in 2024 and can be wishlisted now on Steam, with consoles to follow.
