The trailer for the Problem Child pack didn't disclose a price, but a press release clarified there would be a free and a paid portion. Let's take a closer look at El Gallo de Dorado within the game. Here is an in-game screenshot of Paul and another detailed view of the player model. Jake Paul truly stands out in the Undisputed video game. His presence adds a new dimension to the boxing experience.In addition to Paul, the Problem Child DLC pack, set to release on December 12th, includes heavyweight contenders like Zhilei Zhang and Otto Wallin. It also features Mexican legends such as Juan Manuel Márquez, Erik Morales, and Marco Antonio Barrera, along with former heavyweight champion James "Buster" Douglas. This extensive roster not only showcases Paul's influence but also brings together a diverse group of boxing greats.For hardcore fight fans who might not be immediately inspired by Paul's inclusion, Steel City Interactive and Deep Silver have thought of them too. Along with the seven new fighters, the DLC pack will include alternate ring attires for Terence Crawford, Deontay Wilder, Vasily Lomachenko, Roy Jones Jr., Sunny Edwards, and Seniesa Estrada. This attention to detail enhances the overall gaming experience.I had suspected that Mike Tyson might be added with Jake Paul once this announcement came through. However, as of now, he hasn't been included. In March, I had the opportunity to speak with Paul in Puerto Rico and asked him about his potential inclusion in the game. It was evident that there was something brewing between the megastar and the game, which hadn't yet been released on consoles at that time.Undisputed hit consoles in October and sold over a million copies in its first month. However, there were some significant gameplay issues that caused the game to face some challenges shortly after its launch. But a recent update has addressed many of these issues, especially the stamina and hook spam problems that plagued the first month. More updates and improvements are promised for December, likely arriving alongside the additions of Paul and the other fighters.According to a press release from Steel City Interactive, the new update will also include two brand new 'Ring of Fire' outfits for Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk in anticipation of their rematch on December 21st. There will be two new venues, new animations for knockouts and knockdowns, and movement up and down in weight class for Career Mode. Additionally, there will be audio and UI changes.Steel City Interactive has hinted at further content expansions in early 2025, possibly including new arenas and a career mode update. Paul's fight with Tyson on November 15th was undoubtedly one of the most significant sporting events of the year. It drew record viewership numbers and sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry. The discussions about Paul's next fight and the challenges he received from world-class fighters further solidify his position as a true game-changer in the sport.Paul's popularity is evident in his ability to bridge the gap between the mainstream and the hardcore audience. He is making them take him more seriously, which is a rarity in combat sports. Having a presence in the video game only adds another layer to his legacy. As of now, Paul's rating in the game hasn't been revealed. When this information is shared, it will be interesting to see the reactions of fans and fighters. It's easy to imagine current fighters and legends having concerns about Paul being rated higher than them. However, it wouldn't be surprising if Paul insisted on a certain rating for his character.Perhaps we'll get more details about the DLC drop before it goes live on December 12th.
