The creator of the mega Call of Duty franchise, and co-creator of Infinity Ward, announcing a martial arts tycoon game set within the Brazilian favelas, certainly was not on our 2023 bingo card. With such a name as big as Chance Glasco behind it, we are fully prepared to explore Martial Arts Tycoon: Brazil.
Revealed at BIG Festival
Being a game set in Brazil, it is only right for Good Dog Studios to fully reveal this exciting title at the BIG Games Festival. It is that which is taking place in the carnival country from the 28th June – 2nd July. The presentation of Martial Arts Tycoon: Brazil has taken place, so check it out via the BIG Festival’s site.
Glasco has a storied history with the country. In fact, he developed his love of jiu jitsu over there following his time at Infinity Ward. He had this to say on the reveal:
Brazil has always had a special place in my heart. After my time at Infinity Ward over 10 years ago, I moved to Brazil to live and train in jiu-jitsu. I met some of my best friends in the world there, and can speak from experience when I say that Brazilian gamers are the most passionate group of gamers I’ve ever met. It’s an honor to debut Martial Arts Tycoon: Brazil at this year’s BIG Festival. Through this game, our team aims to capture an authentic snapshot of everyday life in Brazil, be it in favelas or more commonly recognized places like Copacabana and Ipanema. We hope the level of detail we pour into Martial Arts Tycoon: Brazil makes every Brazilian gamer proud when it launches next year.
Gustavo Steinberg – the Creator and Executive Director of BIG Festival – had this to say:
When Chance approached me to discuss featuring Martial Arts Tycoon: Brazil at this year’s BIG Festival, I was immediately sold. Chance has extraordinary insight into the untapped potential of the Brazilian games market, and Martial Arts Tycoon: Brazil is poised for massive success with support from the most exciting community of gamers on the planet. We are delighted to include Chance, Good Dog Studios and Martial Arts Tycoon: Brazil at BIG Festival 2023 and can’t wait to learn more about the game over the coming months.
What is Martial Arts Tycoon: Brazil?
Further details are bound to come regarding the specific tycoon systems within Martial Arts Tycoon: Brazil. Expect the game to go offering players the opportunity to build their own martial arts empire within Brazil’s sprawling favelas. You’ll be developing the most promising talents in the sport, from lowly rookie to the world-renowned champions of tomorrow.Â
Good Dog Studios assures us that fans of a variety of genres will find enjoyment throughout. However at first glance it seems most akin to a management title such as Football Manager 2023. Time to sink even more hundreds of hours into a sports management game!
More To Come
Whenever more details regarding this promising sports title comes to fruition, you can be sure that we will cover it. For now, make sure to check out the reveal broadcast at the BIG Festival. The teaser trailer for the game is below.
Expect to find Martial Arts Tycoon: Brazil on PC in 2024, with consoles to follow.
