It combines a pro-wrestling theme with elements from Japanese role-playing games. The game was released on August 22, 2023, and was available on Windows PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S, Nintendo Switch, and Netflix Games platforms.\n\nIn WrestleQuest, players embark on an adventure in the world of professional wrestling. They can perform different wrestling moves to rise through the ranks of pro-wrestling. The game's story is about rescuing pro-wrestling from a scheming tyrant who wants to control the scripts for all wrestling events worldwide. WrestleQuest combines elements from Japanese role-playing games and pro-wrestling. Combat in the game is turn-based. As players progress in the game, they will level up, manage a party of characters, and complete side quests.\n\nThe developers introduced several systems that capture the feel of a pro-wrestling match. Every battle happens in front of a live audience, and the Hype Meter shows how engaged the audience is. Using the same moves repeatedly bores the audience, causing the meter to drop and enemies to become stronger. If players use a variety of moves and wrestling strategies, they can increase the Hype Meter and unlock bonuses. Another wrestling element in combat is the pinning system. Some enemies can be defeated by reducing their hit points to zero, while others need to be pinned, like in a wrestling match. During pinning, players need to press buttons at the right time for each count. The game also includes other wrestling-related features. Players can customize their entrance routine, choosing theme music, pyrotechnics, and effects. Before boss fights, players can cut promos, verbally taunting their opponents. There are also different wrestling styles called Hype Types, such as Technician, Showman, Powerhouse, and others.\n\nWrestleQuest follows two protagonists, Muchacho Man and Brink Logan, as they aim to win championship titles in pro-wrestling. Muchacho Man is a new wrestler who believes everything in wrestling is real, while Brink Logan is a lower-ranking wrestler in his father's wrestling company. Brink wants to become a champion but also worries about disappointing his family's business. Both of these characters catch the attention of Mr. L. F. Font, who owns PAW, the biggest wrestling organization. Mr. Font is not satisfied with just being at the top; he wants to control all of wrestling and uses aggressive business tactics and illegal methods to do so.\n\nThe paths of these characters cross as they fight to save not only the world but also the world of pro-wrestling and reality itself.\n\nThe team at Mega Cat Studios had long wanted to do an RPG, and many were wrestling fans. According to Manko, the team placed a large emphasis on developing the game's narrative. In WrestleQuest, characters have an action figure appearance, resembling toys. This design choice aims to evoke a sense of nostalgia, reminding players of their childhood playtime and the imaginative world of toys. The game features licensed wrestlers, including “Macho Man” Randy Savage, Andre the Giant, Sgt Slaughter, Jeff Jarrett, Diamond Dallas Page, the Road Warriors.\n\nWrestleQuest was announced on March 16, 2022 during the ID@Xbox Showcase. Initially set to be released on August 8, 2023, it was delayed to August 23 as the developer needed additional time to remedy an issue related to saving game progress.\n\nWikipedia contributors.
