After watching the latest trailer Fight Night Championâs new narrative mode, Champion, four times, Iâm still shaky on whatâs going on here. Andre Bishop, the protagonist, I recognize. His brother, I know, ends up in the ring. Whoâs scorpion guy?
Fight Night Champion producer Brian Hayes filled in IGN on the modeâs themes and features without divulging much more of the story.
âAndre is an outstanding boxing talent. He and his younger brother Raymond are trained by Gus Carisi. Gus used to train their father, who was also a promising boxer at one time. Andre has tremendous potential and DL McQueen, a promoter, is bent on controlling his career. Andre and Gus arenât interested in working with McQueen and the story centers around the struggles Andre faces trying to reach his potential with a variety of obstacles thrown in his way.â
IGN adds that Champion mode will be a linear story with no branching paths. âDonât expect to be faced with moral choices or to have the game change dynamically based on your performance in the ring,â IGN writes. But the modeâs challengesâwill play out differently for each user depending on their skill level and playing style,â Hayes told IGN.
OK, sounds good. Whoâs Scorpion Guy?
