Publisher Ziggurat Interactive and developer Mega Cat Studios have passed along a release date for the console version of World Championship Boxing Manager 2. On Switch, the game will be available on May 17, 2023.
World Championship Boxing Manager 2 was revealed last February. It’s a business tycoon and sports simulation experience as well as the official sequel to the 1991 predecessor.
Below is an official overview with more details:
Brought to life with hand-drawn 32-bit visuals, World Championship Boxing Manager 2 is the official sequel to its 1991 predecessor. Players will enlist promising amateur competitive fighters and train them from the ground up on their path to the world championship. They’ll manage their training schedules — including fitness training — to create the best balance for their roster. To keep them on the path to glory, they’ll also need to hire the best staff, gain supporters at all levels, and promote their fighters. The game features former pro boxers Rocky Marciano, Sugar Ray Robinson, and Sue “Tiger Lily” Fox as boxers within the game, along with a roster of fantastic fictional fighters, coaches, and training staff. A well-managed team will rise to the top, but one misstep will lead to a TKO!

- You’re Hired!: A complete hiring system lets players ensure they have the best training team (and business managers) for their fighters — even if some of that staff might be a little unorthodox!
