“We definitely have a lot of ideas for season 1.5 and season 2 where you can interact with players and have a coop experience, whether that’s through duos or quads. With launch just around the corner, future seasons are being planned out. Even if everyone seems to wear the cat head, which seems to be very popular, there are plenty of ways to differentiate players in-game”.Ĭustomisation is important, of course, but the future of Rumbleverse comes in more forms than cool drip for your character. One thing I’m really proud of is the fact that we have 14 different slots for customisation on our characters, I don’t think I’ve seen that in another game. “We really wanted the title to be inclusive as possible and allow players to make a character that’s really special to them! Also, when you’re running around, having a lot of customization points lets you tell the difference between different players at a glance. Rumbleverse features costumes that come in pieces, which means you can either match each slot together or mix and match to create your own unique wrestler. That desire for accessibility – or more accurately, inclusivity – extends to one of the most popular tools in the live service tool kit: customisation through cosmetics. The idea is that – even though we have this combat system which does have a lot of depth in it – anyone can pick up Rumbleverse and have a good time.” We also add this sense of verticality which in turns brings another layer of strategy to the game. “So that’s really why we say a 'brawler royale'. We won't hear you, but you'll have fun! Get all the podcast episodes here. 30 mins, funny, and you can even play along at home by shouting out your suggestions. It's brilliant, and that's not just a view we hold as the people that make it. Get your ears wrapped around VG247's Best Games Ever Podcast. We wanted to make this title a lot more accessible, to bring some depth, but also be something you can pick up without having to remember too many combos, or things like that.
I love them because I like jumping in and beating someone’s butt, but they can be very technical with a lot of practice required in order to become a proficient player.
“I think fighting games can be intimidating for people. So with all this emphasis on wrestling, why hasn’t it been marketed as a fighting game battle royale? Well, this seems to have been a conscious choice, done to remove any perceived barriers of entry. Things like bouncing on cars and scurrying up the side of buildings all play into that over the top silliness.” Where else can you chokeslam someone from the top of a skyscrapper? It’s not realistic and it’s meant to be funny, to harken back to the early cartoon days and that fun that was ever present back then. We harken back to characters, things squash a little, it’s a little exaggerated. The art style is kinda cartoony – it’s colourful. “Definitely a goal of ours is to make it fun and accessible. It’s that borderline after-school-cartoon style of wrestling, with colourful characters and wacky hijinx, that is expressed in the Rumbleverse world and characters.
Sure you’re working out some aggression but it’s just fun.” “I have two sisters and a brother – we were wrestling all the time – I was wrestling people in college! It brings joy and silliness. Who doesn’t remember wrestling with their siblings on the floor of the living room?” exclaims Blasko. It’s been widely reported that Blasko was the source of the original wrestling battle royale idea, stemming from their desire to recreate the fun of classic wrestling and the high-flying stars of the Macho Man era.
