WrestleQuest Suffers Last-Minute Delay To Late August

If you were looking forward to playing the pro-wrestling-themed RPG WrestleQuest today for its launch, it looks like that card was subject to change. It has been delayed at the last minute and now will arrive on 22 August.

The delay was announced yesterday night by Mega Cat Studios, the developer of the game and Skybound Games, the publisher. They explained that the reason for the delay is due to a bug in the save system. This statement is read:

“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. Because this is a game filled with hours of content and player progress is so important, we could never bodyslam our fans like that.”

While it’s a bummer to see the game get pushed back mere hours before launch, it’s a good thing the team caught this issue before it could affect players. Fans of wrestling and RPGs will need to wait a couple more weeks but they can do it with peace of mind. 

WrestleQuest unfolds in a world molded after action figure wrestling leagues with protagonist Randy “Muchacho Man” Santos on a quest to become the ultimate superstar. Inspired by classics like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI, you’ll partner with a large cast of fellow grapplers to unleash special attacks and tag team moves on your opponents. In addition to fictional personalities, several real-life stars appear in the game, including Jeff Jarrett, Jake “The Snake” Roberts, Sgt. Slaughter is among the other characters.

WresleQuest is available for PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, PC and mobile devices via Netflix.
