Step into the ring with the legendary Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao

October 24, 2025: Steel City Interactive and PLAION announce The Senator Pack, a premium DLC for Undisputed, headlined by legendary Filipino boxer Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao, available October 28^th.

Widely considered one of the greatest fighters in boxing history, Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao is the only boxer in history to win world titles in multiple weight divisions. Players will get the chance to emulate his record-breaking career and relentless fighting spirit across five weight divisions in Undisputed.    

The Senator Pack adds a new fighter pack with the following joining the Undisputed roster:

• Edgar Berlanga: American/Puerto Rican boxer who became widely known early in his career for his incredible knockout streak — he won his first 16 professional fights all by first-round knockout. His impressive start in boxing granted him the nickname ‘The Chosen One’.
• Sergey Kovalev: Former three-time light heavyweight world champion, holding titles from the WBA, WBO, and IBF. Known for his heavy punching power and high knockout ratio.
• Vinny Paz: Legendary, now retired, American professional boxer known for his toughness, charisma, and incredible comeback story. Defying the odds, he returned to the ring a year after a serious car accident and continued winning — cementing his reputation as one of boxing’s most resilient figures.
• Egidijus ‘Mean Machine’ Kavaliauskas: Lithuanian boxer known for his power and aggressive fighting style – hence the nickname, ‘Mean Machine’. The former two-time Olympian has scored many heavy-hitting knockouts throughout his career.
• Evgeny Gradovich: Legendary, nowretired Russian professional boxer who was known for his high work rate, toughness, and relentless pressure style. His professional record boasts 21 wins (9 by KO), 2 losses, 1 draw, and 1 no contest.
• Ricardo Mayorga: Nicknamed ‘El Matador’, the Nicaraguan boxer was known for his brawling style, granite chin, and psychological warfare — often taunting opponents, smoking cigarettes at press conferences, and engaging in wild pre-fight antics.

The Senator Pack also delivers a new Apparel Pack, including brand new in-game kits for Terence Crawford, Deontay Wilder, Ryan Garcia, Shawn Porter, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Heather Hardy. 

This new drop follows The Takeover Pack, Mexican Monster, Iron and Steel, Problem Child, and The WBC Packs, further building one of the most expansive rosters in any fighting game and reaffirming Undisputed’s commitment to authenticity.

The recently announced Undisputed Championship Edition, the heavy-hitting content package following a year of epic DLC drops, will launch on October 28^th, one week later than originally announced.

The Senator Pack is available to download from October 28^th. Undisputed is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.

About Wreckreation:

What if a single key could open an entire 400 square kilometre driving game universe? You’ve probably thought about it. The seemingly infinite number of what-ifs inside your head after pouring countless hours into racing, open-world, and building games. Wreckreation is exactly that.

Developed by Three Fields Entertainment, the UK-based team comprised of veteran arcade racing game developers, Wreckreation finally hands you the keys to your own world. This will be a world that you can decorate and personalise, either alone or in collaboration with your friends online.

A place of your own where you can continually strive to outrace, out-stunt, or even out-crash yourself and others with courses, tracks, and game modes designed by you – or your friends – but yours will probably be better.

Features:

• Arcade Racing – Open world arcade racing game featuring high-speed driving, racing, crashing, stunts, and exploration.
• Mix Your World – Place jumps, loops, stunt ramps, pipes, and moving obstacles almost anywhere in your world. Build roads on and off-road, out to sea, or up in the sky.

• Mix Modes – You are the GameDJ. You create and control the gameplay. This can be a race to the next intersection or a team stunt event; you can even share your creations with the community.
• Mix Your Music – Wreckreation offers its own FM Radio featuring 16 stations ranging from Disco to Gospel or from Movie Music to Smooth Jazz.
• Mix It All – Choose time of day, weather, and traffic! What happens in your world is up to you. At the click of a button, change the time, change the weather, and turn the traffic on or off.
• Be a Wreckord Breaker – Set records seven different ways every time you drive and define how your friends can challenge you by ‘locking’ different Wreckord types to different roads.
• Billboards – Smash three different types of Billboards: ‘Ad Breaks’ can just be broken, ‘Promotional Stunts’ need a special stunt, and ‘Wrecktaculars’ track your biggest stunt score as you hit em.

“This is far from the end, but that doesn’t mean Scarlet Hollow is ‘unfinished’ necessarily,” says Tony Howard-Arias, co-founder of Black Tabby Games. “Each chapter has its own self-contained story, even as each of them slot into a bigger overarching narrative. For us, Scarlet Hollow has always felt like a seven-game series where you get to carry your choices forward into each new installment. And if you don’t believe me, Episode 1 is free. You can always see where it takes you.”

Scarlet Hollow – Episode 5 curses 2026 on PC via Steam on Friday, Feb. 13 as a free update. For more information on Scarlet Hollow, check out the official website, follow developer Black Tabby Games on Twitter and Tumblr, and join the official Discord and Reddit.
