The arcade boxing game that is set within both Rocky and Creed franchises has three goals in mind according to its site it includes “training, fighting, and winning.” The game also allows each player to have their own storylines. The initial narrative will be provided in a visual format. During that portion of the game, the individuals’ control features will be disabled. The only thing gamers will be allowed to do is browse through the texts.
