Hart’s character, in the playthrough, went 3-5-2, for example, with his core being the top attribute. Players can work up a match-to-match character build that emphasizes certain areas of their wrestling prowess. Other pick-ups supply perks or modify one of three core attributes - arms (power), core (health), and legs (stamina).

“ has all the chicken on a squat rack, and he just dips it into the fire,” Hart explained. It’s available from a drive-thru window for “Squatch Chicken: The Home of Slow-Squatted Chicken.” There’s also plenty of roasted poultry, the international sign of video game health since Castlevania and Gauntlet. Hart guzzled down protein powder, for example, and picked up weightlifting magazines to get himself in shape. “For the past couple of years!” Hart added.Įliminations are a simple case of draining another player’s health bar, which can be replenished or buffed by the power-ups strewn about Grapital City. “How often do you guys imitate Jim Ross, by the way?” I asked. I saw Hart, whose fighter was kitted out in a tuxedo under a karate gi, with a full-head cat mask (customization, of course, is very important here) pull out an old-school belly-to-back suplex on a clown (another dev’s costume), landing it from what looked like the observation deck of the Empire State Building. It packs a lot of visual appeal into the fights, and of course, supplies a lot more force to moves landed from way higher than the top rope. The game’s map, “Grapital City,” is quite large - but more importantly, it has a lot of verticality. The ring shrinks tighter and more quickly to compensate for inactivity, Hart said, to force combat on anyone who is avoiding a fight. Iron Galaxy figures most events will take between 12 and 15 minutes to crown a winner. While sneak attacks are possible, normally this is mutually initiated combat. “You can kind of watch them fight or have a, you know, emote conversation with them across rooftops.” Of course, at some point they’ll start throwing down.

“When you see somebody in this game, they’re not a threat to you just because you’ve seen them,” Hart said. But because there are no guns - “except the ones attached to your arms,” says lead designer Adam Hart - Iron Galaxy’s developers hope the fighting will more engaging and more entertaining than the fast-twitch, shoot-or-be-shot immediacy of Fortnite or PUBG Battlegrounds.

Rumbleverse, to be published by Epic Games for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X, borrows the battle royale conventions of parachuting into a map, scarfing up loot and power-ups, and moving to stay within a steadily closing area.

“Just like that, right? And then we just started, like, ‘What would happen in a world where a wrestling match could break out anywhere on planet Earth?’” “The day that we were first jamming on the concept, Chelsea our co-CEO, she just goes, ‘We should do rasslin’!’,” said Adam Boyes, Iron Galaxy’s other co-CEO since 2016.
