"Ubisoft's previous Rocky-themed video games have been hugely popular and we are really excited to be working closely with MGM on Rocky Balboa,” said Tony Key, vice president of marketing at Ubisoft.
Rocky Balboa is the latest story in the saga of one of Hollywood's most beloved characters, Philadelphia boxer Rocky Balboa. Retired, and with his beloved Adrian passed away and his grown son too busy to spend time with him, Philadelphia's favorite boxer is a lonely man. When an ESPN sports show runs a simulated fight between Balboa and the current champ, Mason "The Line" Dixon, Balboa wins, prompting a resurgence of interest in his illustrious career. Presented with the opportunity to wage one last exhibition fight, Rocky accepts the challenge, despite the protests of his friends and family. Facing a powerful young champion, personal tragedy and, ultimately, his own doubts, Rocky steps into the ring one last time to prove that he still has the heart of a champion.
