Punch Club 2: Fast Forward invites future fighters to step into the ring on July 20th
As the fighter management sim prepares for launch, preorders are now available with exclusive content on Steam and Xbox.
[June 11, 2023] - The future is closer than we think as Punch Club 2: Fast Forward prepares to step into the ring for a full release on July 20th. Filled with the ‘80s and ‘90s nostalgia, a new adventure will unfold in a futuristic cyberpunk setting for Steam and all console players. Manage every aspect of your character’s life, from grocery shopping, sleeping, and working out as he tries to become one of the best fighters around and save the day with his fists! Those looking to get some extra practice hours in before the game’s full release can try the free demo available during the Steam Next Fest starting June 19th.
Pre-orders are now available for players on Xbox and PC. Pre-ordering PC2 offers players four cybernetically enhanced pets for their apartment! These cute, sassy, and sometimes rude pets provide entertaining commentary to the player throughout the game. The pets that will be available are:
• Hamborg, the hamster cyborg who thinks he's a famous actor. His only problem? His memory is fuzzy so he never gets any line right.
• Riley, the curly-haired dog who's convinced that aliens are out to get him, so don't be surprised if he starts barking at shadows.
• Sly, the cat who's a little... off. One minute he's spouting nonsense, the next he's giving motivational speeches. But hey, that's just part of his charm!
• Chuck, the capybara who's fully aware that he's just a video game character, but that doesn't stop him from kicking butt and taking names.
Those interested in pre-orders can purchase the game on PC and Xbox.
Punch Club 2: Fast Forward offers new ways to train as it centers itself around the power of futuristic technology! With a fight always around the corner, boosting stats and always being ready to throw fists is essential. Throughout the player's journey they’re going to meet some interesting characters, who will suggest the player install their software. Only one can be installed at a time, so choose wisely to maximize the benefits.
In a departure from its predecessor, Punch Club 2: Fast Forward removes the stat decay system. It is now being replaced with a new progression system that makes the gameplay fun and offers a challenge. The new leveling system and progression bar will balance everything in the game and will help with keeping the tempo, so the player can handle all the events taking place in the game itself.
