Mega Cat Studios and Skybound Games have been working on a brand-new wrestling game, called WrestleQuest. WrestleQuest won’t look as high fidelity as WWE 2K or AEW Fight Forever. Nor will it have the same kind of combat system. Instead, WrestleQuest will look to separate itself with retro graphics and an RPG-like progression system that will make this one of the more interesting combat games to come out in recent years. When can wrestling fans expect to try out WrestleQuest? We now have some answers.
When is the release date for WrestleQuest?
WrestleQuest was first announced back in May, where it was thought that the game would be coming out sometime during 2022. However, the game made an appearance at the Nintendo Indie World Showcase on November 10, and there we got some clarity of when exactly the game will be in our hands.
Skybound Games and Mega Cat Studios confirmed that WrestleQuest will be released in May of 2023. WrestleQuest will be released for the Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.
During that original March update, developer Skybound Games released a first look at WrestleQuest. That’s where we learned that this will be a bit different than traditional wrestling games, thanks to its RPG nature, turn-based combat system, and the side quests that will be a part of the game.
Along your path as a professional wrestler, you’ll come across some of the best to ever step foot in the squared circle. Notable figures that will be a part of WrestleQuest include “Macho Man” Randy Savage, Booker T, Andre The Giant, Jake “The Snake” Roberts, and Jeff Jarrett, among others. The turn-based gameplay won’t be something WWE 2K fans are used to, but it could shake up the genre in some intriguing ways.
