Habib understood this wasn't the news fans wanted to hear, but emphasized how excited he was over the improvements the team made.

Overall, it's a shame to see the mode won't release in time for the holidays. Additionally, this means the Undisputed Character Creator Mode also receives a delay as well. Gameplay Director Will Kinsley confirmed that Character Creator ships along with Career Mode, calling it “necessary” for the mode. Therefore, don't expect to build your own professional boxer any time soon within the game.

Additionally, the roundtable included a couple of other discussions. the developer mentioned changes to their 2023 road map, as well as visual damage and stamina updates. However, most fans wanted to know about what will be the game's biggest single player experience.

Undisputed released in Early Access on January 31st this year on Steam. With big modes like Career and Character Creator still absent, expect the game to remain in early access until the devs implement more ideas to evolve their boxing title. In the meanwhile, check out some of the newest fighters in the game if you haven't already.
