Breaking News: WrestleQuest Release Date Pushed Back Minutes Before Launch, Fans on Edge!

Highlights

WrestleQuest, a turn-based RPG wrestling game, has been delayed due to a technical glitch, pushing its release to August 22.

The game stands out from other wrestling-themed releases this year due to its nostalgic RPG gameplay and inclusion of iconic wrestling legends.

Although fans may be disappointed by the delay, Mega Cat Studios is dedicated to refining the game to ensure a top-notch gaming experience for players.

The highly anticipated wrestling-themed RPG, WrestleQuest, has faced a last-minute delay. The combination of professional wrestling and video games has always been a winning formula, and 2023 has witnessed several notable releases from various wrestling promotions. WWE 2K23 introduced exciting new features like the WarGames match type and a captivating Showcase mode centered around John Cena. On the other hand, AEW Fight Forever provided a nostalgic throwback to the beloved days of WWF No Mercy.

Adding to the mix, a third contender entered the ring with the announcement of a wrestling game in March 2023. However, this game took a different approach by deviating from the typical 3D simulation style found in most wrestling titles. Instead, it embraced a turn-based RPG format reminiscent of classic Final Fantasy games. While WWE 2K23 and AEW Fight Forever focused on the current wrestling scene, WrestleQuest chose to pay homage to the industry's past by featuring legendary wrestlers such as "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Andre the Giant. These iconic figures will assist players on their journey to achieve championship status, employing powerful special moves and vibrant "tag team" combos.

Unfortunately, fans will have to wait a little longer for their chance to enter the ring with WrestleQuest. The game's release has been delayed due to a technical glitch that could result in players losing their game progress. Developer Mega Cat Studios announced that WrestleQuest will now launch on August 22 instead. To lighten the situation, the studio took to Twitter and shared a wrestling-themed meme. This isn't the first time the game's release has been postponed; it was originally slated for May but was pushed back to August due to unexpected issues caused by a new partnership deal. In the meantime, fans have been treated to glimpses of WrestleQuest through gameplay footage, showcasing its intense turn-based combat and special steel cage matches.

WrestleQuest is a vibrant fusion of exciting grappling action and nostalgic RPG gameplay, offering a refreshing alternative to this year's prominent wrestling-themed releases such as WWE 2K23 and AEW Fight Forever. Although this recent delay may disappoint fans of both gaming and professional wrestling, they can find solace in Mega Cat Studios' unwavering commitment to delivering a meticulously polished game before it hits the scene, even if it means spending a few extra weeks in the locker room to address any remaining glitches.

WrestleQuest is slated for release in August 2022 and 2023 on various platforms including Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
