CREED: Rise to Glory (2018), the VR boxing game from Survios that puts you in the shoes of Adonis Creed, just got a new update on all supported platforms that brings a number of classic Rocky characters to the game.

Dubbed the ‘Rocky Legends Update’, the game’s latest free update brings a few iconic figures from the namesake’s cinematic universe including Rocky Balboa, Apollo Creed, Rocky III’s ‘Southside Slugger’ Clubber Lang (aka Mr. T), and Ivan Drago from Rocky IV.

The update is now live on Steam (Vive, Rift), Oculus Home (Rift) and the PlayStation Store (PSVR).

Like Creed: Rise to Glory’s penultimate update, which brought Viktor Drago and Adonis Creed’s old Delphi Gym rival Danny Wheeler to the game, the new characters can be experienced both as Freeplay opponents and as a selectable PvP characters.

PSVR players are getting one additional goodie for this update—the outdoor Walcott Bowl fighting ring.

    This just reminded me that I really want to give this game a try. Unfortunately, my Rift is crashing in all software right now, which is a big bummer. I put in a ticket to Oculus, but after the initial “have you tried reinstalling the software” suggestion I haven’t heard anything for a few days.

    Also, I hope that this game has, or will have, the venue from the original Rocky fight: the Philadelphia Spectrum. As someone that lived in the South Jersey/Philly area for ten years, that’d be neat.

      A bit expensive.

        Do you mean the game itself is a bit expensive? I’d probably wait for a sale.

        • JesuSaveSouls

          Yes yo

        I dont know if this will be deleted but we do not wage war against flesh and blood but spiritual powers of darkness.Therefore put on the whole armor of God so you will stand against the whiles of the enemy.

      Is it available to play those superstars anytime or do you have to climb the ranks of bums and glassjaws ?

      • Justin Davis

        Any time in freeplay.

        • impurekind

          Do you have to do some kind of manual update or download to get them or is it automatic and they just appear next time you play?

          • Justin Davis

            Automatic Steam update

  • JesuSaveSouls

    Came a long way since atari boxing and punchout.

  • impurekind

    So, is this an automatic update or what? Would I need to do something to get this?

  • Raphael

    Reading some of the steam reviews…. “very short single player”.
