An indie wrestling game designed to be the spiritual successor of WWF No Mercy has shown off its latest gameplay footage.
Pro wrestling RPG WrestleQuest delayed thanks to heel interference in the final minutes
08.08.2023 - 16:29 / pcgamer.com / Randy Savage / Vince Macmahon / Pro
Remember when WWE boss Vince McMahon was in the hospital, and just as his examination was concluding and all seemed well, Stone Cold Steve Austin leapt in out of nowhere and clocked him with a bedpan? This is kind of like that: The pro rasslin' RPG WrestleQuest (Mr. McMahon) has been delayed (Stone Cold) by a last-minute bug (the bedpan).
Announced in early 2022, WrestleQuest is a pixel-art RPG that casts players as an ambitious young wrestler looking to make their mark on the scene during the glory years of the 1980s and '90s. It's not an officially licensed WWE game but it features a number of big names from that era including Macho Man Randy Savage, Andre the Giant, Jake The Snake Roberts, Diamond Dallas Page, Booker T, and Jeff Jarrett, who liked the idea so much he appeared in a recent WrestleQuest ad, complete with his trademark guitar.
The game was actually supposed to be out today, August 8, so the delay is very last-minute: An email announcing the new launch date was sent out just before 9 pm ET on August 7.
«When performing final checks on one of our launch platforms, we discovered it was possible for players to lose their save game progress when playing WrestleQuest on multiple different devices,» Mega Cat Studios and Skybound Entertainment said. «Because this is a game filled with hours of content and player progress is so important, we could never bodyslam our fans like that.»
Assuming no further bedpan bumps are on the horizon, WrestleQuest will be out on August 22. In the meantime, a WrestleQuest demo remains available on Steam, and here, for your entertainment and edification, is one of the single greatest moments in professional wrestling history. Enjoy.

Ultra Pro Wrestling Showcase Debuts Engine, New Roster Additions Includng Matt Cardona, Hayabusa - Hardcore Gamer
Ultra Pro Wrestling’s showcase has dropped and with it comes the first in-game footage and a metric-ton of roster announcements. We got to see intros that pay homage to Virtual Pro Wrestling 2’s full walkouts from the backstage area to the ring with “Blue Collar” Bill Dollar facing “Sir” Oliver Buckingham. The light and hard strikes and grapples were shown off and the strikes definitely have the same feel as No Mercy in terms of reactions and selling. The grapples seem a tad floaty, but this is pre-alpha footage and that can always be tightened up. The go-behind animation definitely needs some work and the snap German based on one of Dr. Death’s variants in the Aki engine looks pretty good overall.

The next game from the Battle Brothers devs is a sci-fi tactical RPG that 'takes everything beloved' about their last game and 'improves it tenfold'
Overhype, the studio behind the really rather good Battle Brothers, is beating its swords into plasma rifles for its next game. Called Menace, it's another turn-based «brutal tactical RPG» in the vein of its predecessor, but it's trading in grim low-fantasy for a «grounded sci-fi strategy experience». I think grounded might just be another way of saying grim, judging by the number of people howling and turning into clouds of vapour in the trailer.
