Creed: Rise to Glory – Championship Edition steps into the ring on PS VR2 April 4

Hello, PS Blog pugilists! Survios developers here, excited to share some news about our upcoming PlayStation VR2 release of Creed: Rise to Glory – Championship Edition. 

First up, the release date: We’re launching on April 4, 2023 — that means that in just a few weeks you’ll be able to step into the PS VR2 ring as Adonis Creed, son of heavyweight champion Apollo Creed, as you train hard in the gym under the tutelage of the legendary Rocky Balboa.

This is also following the March 3 release of Creed III in theaters nationwide, and Creed: Rise to Glory – Championship Edition will feature new characters, costumes, and arena options based on the film.

So, how exactly does Championship Edition differ with PS VR2? I’m glad you asked! Let’s dive in:

  • Enjoy enhanced fidelity with 4K/HDR support
  • Foveated rendering ensures the action looks best wherever you’re looking
  • See more of each match with a 110º field of view
  • Engage in more accurate combat with advanced controller tracking
  • Feel every punch with impact haptics in your PS VR2 Sense controllers and PS VR2 headset
  • Hear Rocky Balboa yelling from the corner thanks to 3D audio powered by PS5’s Tempest Audio tech
  • Get into each game more quickly than ever with lightning-fast load times
  • Take the fight online with cross-platform PvP and optimized matchmaking

In addition to the development team’s dedication to visual and performance upgrades, experience an expanded Creed universe with new story chapters, characters, and location based on Creed III.

This is all in addition to the features offered by the base Creed: Rise to Glory game, which includes multiple play modes, innovative mechanics like phantom melee tech and slow-mo counterattacks, cinematic boxing, and more.

Creed: Rise to Glory – Championship Edition launches April 4 for PlayStation VR2, but pre-orders for the Standard and Deluxe editions are live today at PlayStation Store with an additional 10% discount for PlayStation Plus members, and a limited-time exclusive, specialty Adonis Creed costume.

Priced at $39.99 / €39.99 Standard, $49.99 / €49.99 Deluxe, PlayStation Plus users will also receive a limited-time exclusive, specialty Adonis Creed costume along with a 10% discount on pre-orders.
