‘Fire Pro Wrestling World’ Set For Summer 2017 Release For PlayStation 4 And Steam

Fire Pro Wrestling , since its creation in 1989, has been a different kind of wrestling game. Timed button presses along with an enormous amount of strategy are the landmarks of this game, which has seen most of its early releases in Japan before North America got their hands on the game in 2001.

The last Fire Pro Wrestling game was Fire Pro Wrestling Returns for PlayStation 2 in 2007. Since then, there was some talk about another Fire Pro Wrestling release, but the question for the franchise was whether there was enough of an audience for a wrestling game not called WWE 2K. It was announced that there has been enough clamoring that Fire Pro Wrestling will makes its long-awaited return with Fire Pro Wrestling World .

“After a 10-year hiatus, director Tomoyuki Matsumoto’s Fire Pro Wrestling World brings the hit franchise to Windows PC and PlayStation 4, with Steam Early Access confirmed for this Summer. Building upon the core gameplay, the game will offer improved graphics, updated features and online matchmaking connecting players from around the world.”

While Fire Pro Wrestling is not licensed by any pro wrestling around the world, it uses the likenesses of current wrestlers under different names. This gives Fire Pro Wrestling World a bigger playable roster than other wrestling games and each wrestler has their own style they wrestle. From the entertaining style of the WWE to the Japanese strong style and even Mexican Lucha Libre, all types of wrestler are represented.

Here are some of the Fire Pro Wrestling World features developer Spike Chunsoft shared.

PLAY ONLINE

Organize exhibition matches, tournaments, leagues, championship bouts and battle royals with players from around the world.

MIX UP THE RULES

Modes include Deathmatch (steel cage, barbed wire or landmines), MMA rules and no-holds barred Gruesome Fighting.

UNLIMITED CUSTOMIZATION

Create your dream wrestler from over a thousand devastating moves and even more body parts to battle for custom championship belts. Personalize the ring, mat logos and even the referee!

REALISTIC SIMULATION

There is no release date as of yet for Fire Pro Wrestling World for the PlayStation 4 and Steam. The only indication of a release date was a Steam Early Access sometime in the second quarter of 2017. The best part of the early access for Steam is that players will have full online gameplay.
