The world of wrestling video games continues to expand with the recent announcement of Ultra Pro Wrestling.
Hyperfocus Games have officially thrown their hat in the squared circle with the full-length trailer for Ultra Pro Wrestling.
As you can see by the trailer, Ultra Pro Wrestling is a throwback to the N64/AKI era of wrestling video games such as WWF No Mercy, WCW/nWo: Revenge, and Virtual Pro Wrestling.
The following excerpt is from Hyperfocus Games regarding the announcement of Ultra Pro Wrestling:
A new wrestling game which serves as a love letter to the classic wrestling games of the late 90s. Ultra Pro Wrestling is a sandbox game that encourages players to create/edit their own wrestling superstars, promotions and events. Fight for the UPW Championship Title in ranked online matches or play through a multitude of match types in a deep and dynamic single player career mode.
Our game engine dubbed the “Ultra Wrestling Engine” was designed specifically to appeal to wrestling fans of the N64’s WWF No Mercy, WCW vs NWO Revenge and Virtual Pro Wrestling 2. For fans who never got the chance to experience those older games we would like to introduce you to a new type of wrestling gameplay we refer to as “pure wrestling” – where the authenticity of the combat in a wrestling context is the primary focus.
