Ubisoft will trace Rocky's career from the amateurs all the way to the pros.
Ubisoft today announced it will release Rocky Legends for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system and Xbox as part of an exclusive licensing agreement with MGM Interactive, a Unit of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc.
Rocky Legends will let players experience the pummelling action and untold backstories that lead up to the events chronicled in the blockbuster Rocky movies. Characters such as Rocky Balboa (the Italian Stallion from the streets of Philly), Apollo Creed (the Master of Disaster), Clubber Lang (straight out of a Chicago jailhouse) and Ivan Drago, (the Iron Fist of mother Russia), will be included in the game.
The game is being developed by Venom Games with a team comprised of many individuals who created the highly-acclaimed first Rocky videogame. Rocky Legends will deliver the ideal mix of arcade fun and simulation boxing.
In addition, the game will be playable online via Xbox Live, allowing toe-to-toe matchups and competitive leagues.
Rocky Legends is slated to enter the gaming arena this Fall 2004.
