Developed by Good Dog Studios, Martial Arts Tycoon: Brazil offers players the opportunity to build and manage their own martial arts empire in Rio de Janeiro, from training aspiring fighters in the favelas to organizing thrilling tournaments. With a unique blend of strategy, simulation and, of course, martial arts action, Martial Arts Tycoon: Brazil promises to captivate fans across a variety of genres.

“When Chance approached me to discuss featuring Martial Arts Tycoon: Brazil at this year’s BIG Festival, I was immediately sold,” says Gustavo Steinberg, Creator and Executive Director of BIG Festival.

“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.”

“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,” says Glasco.

“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.”

Martial Arts Tycoon: Brazil will launch on PC in 2024, with consoles to follow. For more information, please visit the developer’s official website at www.gooddogstudios.com or follow the game on Twitter, Instagram, Discord, TikTok, and Facebook for the latest updates and news.
