If boxing Muppets that look like Crank Yankers wasn’t on your bingo card for Summer Game Fest, you surely missed out! Felt That: Boxing is a comedic boxing game in a world of furry puppets, featuring Ezra “Fuzz-E” Wright, our unlikely hero. It’s up to the player to go the distance with the little guy as he scraps his way through the Tournament of a Million Punches to save an orphanage.
What’s more shocking is that the title will feature music by none other than Flying Lotus, one of the pioneers of the classic Adult Swim bumps. The trailer shows the hilarious but strenuous exercise routine of Ezra as he prepares to get in the ring with a puppet far, far bigger than he is.
Felt That: Boxing comes out of Sans Strings Studio, created by Ryan Corniel and Sébastien Deguy who specialize in bringing “digital puppeteering to new heights.”
Although there is no release date for the sports boxing game, there’s already plenty of excitement around the title and others presented during Summer Game Fest.
