Summer Games Fest World Premiere

Felt That: Boxing joins Summer Game Fest 2025's highly curated keynote lineup of groundbreaking games. The annual showcase, which attracts millions of viewers globally, serves as the kickoff to gaming's biggest season and has become synonymous with the most exciting reveals in the industry.

Felt That: Boxing's world premiere trailer debuted during the main presentation, streaming live at and major platforms worldwide. The reaction was electric and overwhelmingly positive with host Geoff Keighley pronouncing "gotta wishlist that one!"

About the Game

Felt That: Boxing is a heartfelt and hilarious boxing game where the charm of furry puppets meets the fury of arcade fighting. Step into the shoes of Ezra “Fuzz-E” Wright, an unadoptable orphan turned prizefighter, as he throws down in the “Tournament of a Million Punches” to save his beloved puppet orphanage from ruthless demolition.

A Hero Made of Felt, with a Whole Lot of Heart

Fuzz-E never meant to follow in his belated father’s footsteps into the ring. But when a greedy developer threatens to bulldoze the only home he’s ever known, he laces up his oversized gloves and steps into the spotlight. What starts as a desperate bid to save the orphanage quickly escalates into a wild ride through bombastic arenas full of outrageous characters, ridiculous power-ups, and surprisingly emotional turns.

Developed by Sans Strings Studio in collaboration with Stoopid Buddy Stoodios.
