While the Steam release is still scheduled for February 26, RetroMania Wrestling may now be delayed on consoles.
RetroMania Wrestling, which is the official sequel to the 1991 arcade classic WWF WrestleFest was set to be released this month on Steam, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and the Nintendo Switch. Retrosoft Studios released their latest episode of their weekly Developer’s Vlog this week, where owner Mike Hermann went into detail on how they may just slightly miss their target release date.
As Mike Hermann explains in the latest episode, it’s not confirmed that the game will be delayed. Instead, it’s nothing more than a possibility at this point, as Retrosoft Studios is currently going through certification for the upcoming console release.
“We are working through some issues on the console ports, so we are still, fingers crossed, hoping to get the game out as desired on the 26th. We are in good shape for PC, we’re going to hit the 26th on the PC. We’re still hoping to hit the date, fingers crossed, on the consoles as well. But you’ll notice that we’re not in the eShops yet, because we’re going through certification. So, the game is done! Repeat, the game is done! But we are in the certification process.”
Mike Hermann, Owner of Retrosoft Studios (RetroMania Wrestling Developer’s Vlog, Episode #39)
Hermann would go on to say that if the console versions of RetroMania Wrestling are delayed, it would only be a few days at most.
“We have our release on Steam ready to push out, and we are hoping to get console released at the same point in time, fingers crossed. If not, it could be delayed a little bit. We’re talking hopefully just days, if at all. We’re still saying ‘if at all’ at this point. As soon as get through that certification approval process, we’re hitting the button and it’s pushed out.”
