Wrestling Empire News

I've been working to make every location as interesting a wrestling arena, and the subway in the latest example - as it now lets you fall onto the tracks to be hit by a train! You can also wander further down the sides of each platform and up the stairs. Let me know if the extra dimension causes any inconsistencies, but I'm satisfied I've caught most of them. Back in the arena, the work I've been doing even extends to being able to step from one section of the railings to the other.



There's also a new "Swing" move to have fun with at the legs, which lets you spin for as long as your strength allows before pressing any button to release. A folding chair is also available as a piece of furniture as well as the classic handheld weapon. There's also a healthy dose of the usual bug fixes to refine your experience:

June's v1.4.7 update fixes a fistful of niggling bugs, whilst also introducing its fair share of new content - including our first taste of vehicles, as wheelchairs & crutches give more mobility to injured characters! Modders may be interested to know that the game also now reads any correctly named additions to the belt sprites/textures to bring more variety to those. Dozens of (low quality) themes from older games have also been added with one eye on replacing them if you weren't already nostalgic for them!



As ever, the fine print can be found towards the end of the manual:

v1.4.6 introduces alternate metal railings, and the crowd behind them even sounds different thanks to a wider variety of FX! New phone gestures even make it possible to take "selfies" with them if you want a cheap pop.



Under the hood, the most significant change is that training gains are easier to keep. I had tried to discourage becoming superhuman through training, but at least it's less exhausting this way. You should find that weight changes are also more pronounced if you literally want to see more muscle from your strength training!

The other bug fixes too small to mention can be digested here:

An airport & plane become the latest locations on the map, along with a little fine-tuning to existing ones. It's not as if there's anywhere to fly to yet, but you can at least enjoy recreating the "plane ride from hell" in exhibitions!



There's also more food to eat, as fruit offers a healthier (albeit less satisfying) alternative to junk food. And if you've ever felt there isn't enough time to roam before a show, the clock now pauses on conversations to avoid wasting any. There's not yet enough to do for roaming to become 100% immersive.

If you've ever tried to enjoy multiplayer only to find that P2 cannot use their left trigger to switch characters, you should find this is fixed in a tiny addition to yesterday's v1.4.2 patch. A handful of other issues too small to mention have also been smoothed over.
