Hey, wrestlers! Thank you for your support as we work on our promise to continue making WrestleQuest slamtastic.
We’ve heard the wrestle-voices, and we’ve listened! Today’s patch has one standout feature—Auto-win QTEs! This feature will automatically complete any button prompt during combat. You can toggle this on at any time in the options menu.
Additionally, we have some other fixes and polish for you:
Fixed Bugs
Players getting stuck on, in, and between objects
Cinematics causing softlocks in the game
Saving issues where there are missing components
Various combat issues with gimmicks not dealing damage in different conditions, and issues with healing gimmicks
Black screens being encountered randomly
Text typos and localization fixes
Visual layering issues where some objects are incorrectly on top of other objects
Disconnecting a gamepad when paused causes the UI to bug and block the game
Tweak and Adjustment
Hype Bar values are now shown all the time
Increased overworld run speed
Above: Updated run speed; Below: Old run speed
Conveyor belt speed is now proportionate to player's run speed
New features, more fixes, and updates are coming soon! We’re committed to powering up WrestleQuest and are delighted to have you join us on this journey.
Stay sweaty!
Roadmap—More Baby Oil Incoming
Thanks to everyone who has joined us in the ring! We appreciate you, and your support for WrestleQuest.
We also appreciate all the suggestions. Our cat ears are open, and just like a good wrestler, we listen to the crowd. We’re managing everything in batches and prioritizing backward from risk and impact on the game. The team is committed to making this game do its push-ups so it gets stronger and stronger.
Expect some improvements and polish soon, including:
Adjustments to the run speed to put some spice in Muchacho Man’s step.
The game has several toggles for combat, including Max Damage, Invincibility, Slow QTEs, and Auto-pinning. However, we feel these were not adequately communicated, so we’ll add some in-game messaging to highlight them.
Our goal with the button prompts during combat was to keep players engaged and to make your attacks feel more impactful. However, many people prefer a combat experience without button prompts or QTEs. Therefore, we’re adding an option to Auto-win ALL button prompts and QTEs, not just those related to pinning.
Additional quest markers to help wayfinding at certain points of the story.
Improvements to combat UI, including better enemy health bars and hype meter improvements.
Better autosave triggers at key moments and before critical battles.
Cursor Memory during combat to make targeting easier than ever.
A slew of bug fixes and corrections.
Several other QoL improvements to menus and UI to make the experience smoother than ever!
This is the roadmap as it stands, as complete as we have at the moment, and it's being actively updated daily. We’ll be back next month with an update to our plan, and let you know in the meantime as these improvements make their way into WrestleQuest.
Thanks again, and stay sweaty!
New Build for Players in China
Dear Chinese Players,
We are happy to announce that we just released a new build without the online features that were causing the game to fail to load for our players in China.
This build is available now, and will be the default version automatically for all players in China. For those that have already purchased the game, you only have to restart Steam, then update the game! You should see 0.2.1.92.9nt at the bottom right of the title screen.
Currently, this build is only available for Windows. We will have an additional build later this week for Linux/Steam Deck.
Thank you again for supporting WrestleQuest, and we hope to hear your thoughts on it now that you can actually experience it!
First of all, thank you for supporting and purchasing WrestleQuest.
We have seen feedback from Chinese players that mention the game not loading correctly. We believe the issue is related to the game’s online features and how they connect to the internet in China.
Our team is rapidly working on a build that has these features removed, so that our Chinese players can enjoy the game smoothly.
Thank you for your patience as we work to address this issue. We’ll see you in the ring!
Thank you all so much for your patience, understanding, and most importantly: HYPE! We are so excited to be sharing the game with you all, and cannot wait to see your reactions.
Should you run into any issues while Questing, please fill out the following form for a report and we have our devs on standby to look into it as soon as they can.
Now go on... TAG TEAM WITH DESTINY
WrestleQuest Release Date Update
Mega Cat Studios and Skybound Games announced today that WrestleQuest will now be launching August 22 across all platforms.
When performing final checks on one of our launch platforms, we discovered it was possible for players to lose their save game progress when playing WrestleQuest on multiple different devices.
Because this is a game filled with hours of content and player progress is so important, we could never bodyslam our fans like that.
We are truly proud of this game and believe that we have a product that delivers on all counts. We’re blown away by the support we’ve seen from players excited for WrestleQuest.
Thank you all. We’ll see you in the ring August 22.

5 Tips to Get to the Top of the Wrestling Food Chain
Hey, wrestling fans! ARE YOUR BODIES READY!?
In less than a week — on August 8th — you can take a hero’s journey in Skybound and Mega Cat Studios’ WrestleQuest, the world’s first wrestling RPG. Packed with pro wrestling legends and cool retro fantasy environments, the game offers a whole new world of excitement. To prepare for its release, here are some tips and tricks that can help you powerbomb your way to the top and become best wrestler of them all!
1. Get crowned wrestling royalty by enlisting wrestling legends
The way to gain the respect of wrestling legends, like Jake the Snake, is through victory! Players can gain the support of iconic wrestlers and harness their unique moves and abilities, like using Andre the Giant to tilt the wrestling match in their favor.
2. Use strikes, signature gimmicks, and tag team combos to master WrestleQuest combat
With some iconic wrestling legends, players are in for a treat! Studying the work of these legends, players can master the game’s incredible combat moves and walk in the footsteps of their idols to achieve victory.
3. Visit every Macho Man statue to get an incredible prize
There are multiple “Macho Man” Randy Savage statues across the WrestleQuest world and, if you visit them all, you may receive an amazing prize.
4. Activate hyper damage and auto-pinning to make combat a breeze
With numerous realms and monsters, the WrestleQuest story goes way beyond the ring. Instead of simply battling their way up, players have the opportunity to activate hyper damage and auto-pinning to skip the battles and focus on the story.
5. Every enemy has a movement pattern
Enemies in the different worlds of the game have a particular movement pattern that allows the players to sneak by them. Thus, players can decide which enemies they would like to fight.

[Previews] See What Press is Saying About WrestleQuest
Hello fellow Quest-heads!
We are now officially 25 days away from the launch of WrestleQuest, which means we've started getting gaming press some hands-on preview time with the game and -- we are hyped to say -- THE RESPONSIVE IS SUPER POSITIVE!!
We can't wait to get the game into your hands (you can play a demo right here on Steam in the meantime, at least!), but check out what press is saying about WrestleQuest below:
"WrestleQuest has the potential to be the greatest wrestling video game of all time. A creative world and an excellent combat system combine to make an incredible experience that I can’t wait to see fully fleshed out in the full game." - ButWhyTho?
“WrestleQuest straddles a line between being a game for wrestling fans and being a game for RPG fans effortlessly, Skybound Games earned a real knockout here.” - CGMagazine
“WrestleQuest is more RPG than wrestling game, and that makes it more fun for roleplayers and wrestling fans alike” - TheGamer
"The writing is clever and feels as over-the-top and ridiculous as the era of wrestling it’s representing." - Sportskeeda
“WrestleQuest may put wrestling at the fore, but this game centers around something much more relatable: Nostalgia.” - MMORPG
And so we ask once more.... ARE YOU READY TO GET SWEATY?!
