Yeah, Steam Early Access should be out by the end of June. I wouldn't expect PS4 for a while, though. They're going to be adding things to the game based off the feedback from those that play the Early Access. Then the PS4 version has to go through certification and all that, so it probably won't be out for another few months after the Early Access release.

Never played this before. How does it compare to the 2k series? seems arcadey? any kind of story / universe mode or is it just arcade

Arcade-y how?

In terms of pure wrestling, it's probably the greatest wrestling engine ever.

In terms of story/universe mode... maybe don't hold your breath.

Here's just one of the ways the editing is in-depth. You can choose what percentage wrestlers will go for what moves & when (and there are a TON of moves in this game. Almost anything you can think of, and they had those on PS2.)

Don't let the sprite graphics fool you into thinking this is an arcade-y game.

Spoiler

If you want to see a gameplay video, here's a newer one made.

This is the PS2 game, but the engine will be very similar.

I hope that Gamestop will have this game when it comes out because it's not listed on their website.

Also, I hope a lot of the features will be carried over from Returns (women wrestlers, mixed matches etc.)

I saw a photo of the create a ring, and the only turnbuckle options are the Japanese/Boxing style long turnbuckles. In Returns you could choose between American style (three) turnbuckles or Boxing style turnbuckles.

Will wrestlers come out with custom belts or not?

Pretty sure this is a digital release only.

I sure hope there is an actual disc release. I remember 10 years ago when it was announced that Fire Pro Returns would be imported to the US, none of the major stores new anything about it including GameStop. Then after it came to the US my local gamestop actually had a few copies of it while Best Buy/Wal-Mart etc. didn't and knew nothing about it. Hopefully sometime in 2017 PS4 will have a physical copy of Fire Pro World and I wouldn't mind forking out $60 for it.

I remember buying Returns in the local Dollar General Store. Stopped in to buy something I had forgotten at Walmart and had a major WTF reaction because all the major stores around here didn't have it.
