You can DDT the competition very soon
The multiplayer wrestling battle royaleRumbleverseis launching quite soon. Iron Galaxy announced today thatRumbleversewill launch on August 11 for PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and PC via Epic.
The free-to-play brawler goes live on the 11th, and a week later the first season ofRumbleversewill kick off. According toIron Galaxy’s blog, this will include a Battle Pass with cosmetics to earn along a special path.
Rumbleverseis a 40-player battle royale-style game. But rather than guns and shooting,Rumbleverseis about good ol’ fashioned wrestling. Characters can pick up and use various moves like strikes, kicks, uppercuts, and giant slams to knock out opponents.
Announced in December duringThe Game Awards 2021,Rumbleversewas set to launch in February. Iron Galaxydelayed the launch though, and has been running tests and early playtimes. Now, it seems like the fighter’s ready to head into the ring.
Bah gawd
It’s been hard to missRumbleverse, as it’s been making the rounds in the fighting game community social sphere with each new playtest. And I’ll admit, the concept has me intrigued. Plenty of battle royale games hone in on accuracy and shooting ability, but very few have sated the brawling, fighting, wrasslin’ urge.
There have been several battle royales that have goneinto and out of the spotlightover the years, but this one at least seems worth a test drive. At the low, low price of free, why not?
Rumbleverseslams onto PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC via the Epic Games Store on August 11.
