The player follows Adonis Creed's training under Rocky Balboa and progression through fights against opponents drawn from the films (such as Viktor Drago) or new original boxers like Luke O'Grady, Axel Ramirez, Duane Reynolds, and Leo Sporino. The brief story mode emphasizes classic sports underdog arcs, gym workouts, and championship bouts with no romance systems, character creation screens, or identity-focused subplots.

Developer Survios and publisher MGM present the game purely as an athletic experience tied to Creed III content, with no statements on representation mandates or activist intent. Extensive searches across reviews, wikis, and social platforms yield zero references to DEI initiatives, LGBTQ elements, gender-swapped characters, pronoun options, or ideological controversies. The attached images further confirm traditional male fighter models, punching mechanics, and urban training environments without any overlaid progressive UI or messaging.
