One of the best and most realistic VR boxing games is finally getting a sequel, and fans won’t have long to wait, as creator Ian Fitz has announced The Thrill of the Fight 2 with early access launching this November. So grab that headset because round two is about to begin, and this time, it’ll be against real players.

One of the biggest improvements, aside from visuals and gameplay, is that the sequel will feature multiplayer, one of the most requested modes for the original. This is in part due to the success of the first game, which prompted Fitz to want to go bigger with it. Thus, a partnership was formed between him and Halfbrick Studios, whose CEO shared a similar understanding of Fitz’s vision for the sequel. Though the trailer only gives us a glimpse of what the sequel will offer, the improvements go unnoticed and give just enough for fans to be excited about.

What’s more, though the multiplayer won’t be based on weight divisions, it will have skill-based matchmaking to help keep things balanced. Here’s a breakdown of other features fans can expect:

  • Exceptionally High Fidelity Boxing Experience
  • Immersive Online Multiplayer with Skill-Based Matchmaking and Direct Matches
  • Fully Customizable Player Avatar
  • Engaging Competitive Gameplay
  • Responsive, true to life physics
  • Stunning graphics and realistic immersion

The Thrill of the Fight 2 will be available in early access sometime in November for Quest.
