The Thrill of the Fight 2 is a boxing game that blends action and adventure, sports and simulation, from Halfbrick Studios. The developer describes it as a fully reworked sequel to the original Thrill of the Fight, and the full release adds a brand-new single-player career. It launched on the Meta Horizon Store on November 21, 2024.
How it plays
Fights reward precise punches rather than wild flailing. The career mode starts you as a rookie in the amateur ranks and takes you up to a world tournament, and the developer says it is built to be replayed again and again.
- Adaptive AI opponents, which the developer calls the most advanced in the series.
- Coach Berg, with more than 2,000 lines of voiced dialogue covering training, corner advice and post-fight analysis.
- A new arena, Memorial Hall, used in both the career and multiplayer.
- Fully customizable avatars.
Multiplayer
Online PvP uses skill-based matchmaking, or you can set up private matches with people you know. The developer also runs a Discord server for the community.
Comfort
Meta rates The Thrill of the Fight 2 moderate, meaning it is comfortable for some people. It supports standing and room-scale play with controllers. Boxing is physically demanding, so warm up, leave plenty of room for full punches and take a break if you feel motion sickness.
