Developer Retrosoft Studios has been very transparent during the development process ofRetroMania Wrestling. In Episode 43 of its Developer Vlog, Mike from the team updated fans about why the console version of the game has still not been released. According to him, it is going to be pushed further out than originally planned, but will hopefully be ready in the coming weeks.
Each version of the game is awaiting certification, and some of them have been sent back for adjustments. The Switch version ofRetroMaina Wrestlingwas sent back due to the game missing a 480p version and issues with controls. The Xbox version also had some issues. Both versions were addressed and resubmitted.
Mike said that Nintendo, specifically, has been incredible to work with from a communication standpoint. Xbox has been similarly helpful. PlayStation has yet to review the game, according to Mike. Because of all of this, Mike believes thatRetroMaina Wrestlingon consoles will launch at different points on each console, but hopes that the games will be ready soon.
RetroMania Wrestlingis out now on PC and will soon launch on Switch, Xbox One, and PS4.
