Felt That: Boxing is an upcoming boxing game with an artstyle reminiscent of a gritty take on Jim Henson's Muppets. Described by one of the lead developers as a title where “some weird furry puppets had an emotional baby with Punch-Out!!,” its reveal is yet another exciting announcement from the Summer Game Fest 2025.
Ever since Nintendo’s classic boxing series Punch-Out!! went on hiatus after the release of the 2009 Wii installment, many games have tried to emulate its style. The independent scene in particular has made multiple attempts to create a spiritual successor with the same focus on lightning-quick reflexes, speedrunning tactics, and highly distinct characters. Now, indie titles such as Thunder Ray and the upcoming Big Boy Boxing are joined by a new challenger.
From stealth sims to musical chaos and melancholic photo quests, Day of the Devs 2025 gave indies the stage and every game had something to say.
Audiences got their first look at Felt That: Boxing in a trailer which premiered during the Summer Game Fest. The video introduced protagonist Ezra "Fuzz-E" Wright, a “flimsy puppet” who must become a boxing champion in order to save his old orphanage from getting demolished....
