World Championship Boxing Manager 2 is the official sequel to 1991’s World Championship Boxing Manager and will offer players a winning one-two punch of business tycoon and boxing simulation gameplay.

This iteration not only captures the essence of the original, but expands upon it, offering updated visuals, deeper gameplay with RPG-like skill selection, and new characters based on former pro boxers Rocky Marciano and Sugar Ray Robinson.

World Championship Boxing Manager 2 features retro-tastic 32-bit styled visuals and modernizes the series by adding dynamic lighting, a tighter boxing simulation engine, an updated interface, and more fights than you can shake your glove at! 

The boxing world is at your fingertips in this deeply detailed and outrageously entertaining sports management simulation. Enlist competitive fighters, recruit top-notch staff, and ride the hype train all the way to endorsement city! Watch it all play out in the ring as your fighter takes the throne…or takes a fall. 

World Championship Boxing Manager 2 adds a stadium’s worth of new features via Twitch integration for streamers. Various features allow a streamer’s chat to activate a variety of in-game effects. For example, “Viewer Controlled Crowds” can push the in-game crowd to perform cheers, chants, or animations like “the wave.” Similarly, audience members can buff or debuff the streamer's (or the opponent’s) stats and strategies!

Publisher Ziggurat Interactive and developer Mega Cat Studios (WrestleQuest and Coffee Crisis) are thrilled to announce that World Championship Boxing Manager 2 launches on PC on January 17, 2023.

“Our collaboration with the amazingly-creative folks at Mega Cat Studios has produced a wonderfully fresh take on sport business sims and boxing,” said Rhett Ahlander, Marketing Manager at Ziggurat Interactive. “We can’t wait to continue this partnership and produce more great games together.”

Our team is honored to add another punch to the wonderful and storied history of boxing and gaming. Having Ziggurat in our corner kept us in fighting shape and proved invaluable as we brought our love letter to boxing to the world.”
