Rumbleverse: Wrestling-Themed Battle Royale Launches Next Month
Rumbleverse, the Fortnite meets pro wrestling Battle Royale game, will be released next month on August 11, for PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series, and PC through the Epic Games Store.
The free-to-play, 40-person Battle Royale will feature a battle pass too, but its Season 1 doesn’t start until a week after launch on August 18. Iron Galaxy Studios has not announced pricing for the battle pass but, given that Fortnite’s Epic Games is also publishing Rumbleverse, it will likely cost around $10 for the standard version.
A new trailer (below) was released alongside the release date announcement, showcasing some of the wackiest moments from Rumbleverse’s network tests.
“Rumbleverse has been a passion project for us and a real testament to the skills and experience of our team,” said Iron Galaxy co-CEO Adam Boyes. “We can’t wait to see everyone pour into Grapital City and discover the singular joy of suplexing a friend off a skyscraper.”
The game was first announced in December last year and was originally expected to be released in February. The studio later delayed the game indefinitely but eventually settled on this new August release date.
In our preview of the game, IGN said: “With a unique angle, a familiar but visually appealing cartoony art-style, and more wrasslin’ than you can shake a steel chair at, Rumbleverse seems primed to be a legitimate new contender in the competitive battle royale genre.”
