WrestleQuest delayed to August 22

Mega Cat Studios’ WrestleQuest has turned heads thanks to its 🎃gorgeous pixel art world that blends RPG fantasy exploration with wꦿrestling action. Though it was originally slated for an August 8 release, the game has since been delayed to August 22 on all platforms.

An upd💦ate to our fans. See you in the ring Augu💙st 22.

It is a brief delay triggered by a slight bug developers found. As a Tweet by Skybound Games explains, it was “discovered that it was possible for players to lose their save game progress when playing WrestleQuest on multiple different devices.”

WrestleQuest gets pushed back a few weeks

The delay may be disappointing, though the stated reason for it is understandable. WrestleQuest has hours of content, taking players on a journey to become the greatest pro wrestler. The tweet also suggests that WrestleQuest will have cross-save capabilities.

Early impressions of the game have been mostly pos✃itive, with critics praising the art style and its engagement with the wrestling world. A few ๊real-world wrestling superstars also make an appearance, including Andre the Giant, Ja𒁃ke “The Snake” Roberts⛎, and Jeff Jarrett.

The delay may have been necessary, but it does push WrestleQuest into quite a busy time in gaming. It launches in the same week as Immortals of Aveumn and Armored Core 6. Sea of Stars, anothཧer pixel art ga🍌me, releases the following week on August 29.
