Launching today and timed to Power Slap 4: Hintz vs Turpin (airing tonight at 6:00 PM PST / 9:00 PM EST around the globe live and free exclusively on Rumble), Power Slap brings players around the world together as they train, power up, and reach new heights in their Power Slap careers. In the game, Power Slap founder Dana White mentors each player as they take on their opponents and work towards claiming their title. Players have access to multiple career and training modes, in-game events, and live challenges. They can also create their own custom avatar or play as their favorite Power Slap champions.

“This new Power Slap game is absolutely incredible, and I couldn’t be more excited for fans around the world to experience it,” said Dana White, Founder of Power Slap.

“Rollic, Zynga, and Take-Two did a phenomenal job bringing Power Slap to life in this mobile game,” said Frank Lamicella, President of Power Slap. “We expect the game to contribute to the growth of the sport for years to come.”

Narrated by Dana White, the game will feature four Power Slap Athletes at launch, including Light Heavyweight Champion Wolverine (Ron Bata); former Light Heavyweight champion Ayjay “Static” Hintz; Super Heavyweight Da Crazy Hawaiian (Koa Viernes); and Welterweight Champion Christapher “K.O. Chris” Thomas. Additional athletes will be added in future updates, the first of which is planned to launch later this month and feature Heavyweight Champion The Bell (Damien Dibbell) and Middleweight Champion John “The Machine” Davis.
