Sure, here’s a rewritten version with a human-like stream-of-consciousness style:
—
Alright, so here’s the deal — Boxing Underdog just popped up today for early access on Quest. And man, the road here was anything but straightforward. This thing used to go by the name VRSO: Bare Knuckle Fighting, back in 2023. You remember that? I barely do. They aimed for a big November 2024 splash, but yeah, delays hit hard. Let’s not mix it up with UNDERDOGS; that’s a whole other story with its multiplayer jazz.
And here we are, early access for $19.99. Oh, and there’s this tweet, if you care about those: 🥊BOXING UNDERDOG🥊 – EARLY ACCESS LAUNCH ANNOUNCEMENT happened (I sometimes wonder who writes these, but anyway), saying July 28th, 10:00 AM PT was the magic moment. They had this open beta thing going — which seems like it barely lasted. Blink and you missed it, right?
Cruised through their Discord server, and turns out, we’ve got five modes at launch. Anyone else a sucker for classic boxing matches? There’s also a bare-knuckle mode that’s supposed to be wild. Like, “raw, intense” battles, they say. Imagine that. Single-player is there too, with four AI opponents and three difficulty levels. Plus, you get to train. Yay. They’ve thrown in four venues, and every fight — yep, all of ’em — is recorded for replay. Pretty neat if you ask me.
It doesn’t stop there. A jukebox feature made it in, so you can crank up your tunes. There’s voice chat — I guess someone out there loves talking while swinging punches. Leaderboards too, because who doesn’t want bragging rights? Oh, and gore effects? Yeah, they didn’t hold back. Physics-based stuff like stun systems and ragdoll antics. Makes it feel real, they claim. Steam app for creators is landing soon, July 31 to be exact.
Anyway, Boxing Underdog is in the ring now on Quest. As for the PS VR2 and PC VR versions, who knows? They’re keeping tight-lipped on that. More waiting, I guess. Fun times.
