Skybound’s Wrestlequest Set for August 8th Release

Skybound Games and Mega Cat Studios’ RPG Wrestlequest is revealed to have an 8th August release date. The game will be on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC (via Steam) and iOS and Android (via Netflix).

In a nutshell, the game has you controlling wrestlers as they piledrive and suplex their way to be the champ in the ring, all through RPG combat with the numbers and the turn-based gameplay. Skybound Games gave a brief overview of the upcoming game:

“In WrestleQuest, players assume the role of a young wrestling hopeful, on their quest to become one of the all-time greats by powerbombing, slamming, and suplexing their way to the top.

Players will evolve from an aspiring rookie to world champ by training, learning, glamming, and slamming to the top of the pro wrestling food chain, while selecting the right moves, style, taunts and entrance to ensure they’re the cream of the crop. But success in the wrestling world requires allies, so forming the ultimate party will be vital, as you work together to crush the competition and tag team your way to triumph.

The road to the world championship has been paved by the legends who came before—all who make an appearance in one way or another. As our hero progresses through their quest, they’ll note homages to “Macho Man” Randy Savage, Booker T, Andre The Giant, Jake “The Snake” Roberts, Diamond Dallas Page, Jeff Jarrett, and many more.

Wild realms, exotic monsters, action figure fighters, and spandexed allies await as this fantasy goes beyond the ring. With tons of side missions, bonus content, and much more, this is the ultimate main event that you won’t want to miss.”

Mega Cat has been working alongside Jeff Jarrett, Diamond Dallas Page and Al Snow to help bring the squared-circle environment to life in the game, tributing the past, present and future of wrestling itself. The game includes heartfelt storylines and adventurous environments, all to fit the larger-than-life legends that feature in the game.
