FITE Lives in WrestleQuest’s RPG Gaming World
The first of its kind video game lets players jump off the top rope as action figures in a toy-centered wrestleverse populated with wrestling legends– and your favorite sports streaming platform
New York, NY ( August 24, 2023)--FITE and MegaCat Studios announced today a partnership that puts FITE in WrestleQuest, the new turn-based role playing game with real-life wrestling legends. The highly anticipated game, which was released this week, brings to life a world where toys, action figures and wrestling collide–and over 30 legendary wrestlers are part of their game, each with their own side quest, from Jeff Jarrett to Randy Savage to André the Giant to Jake the Snake. And just as FITE is ubiquitous in the real life of any true wrestling fan, presenting the best promotions from around the world as blockbuster PPV events and on its FITE+ subscription service, players in WrestleQuest will encounter FITE's presence throughout the RPG's world.
WrestleQuest is not affiliated with any one promotion (especially not the corporate megalith that crowds out the sport's indie spirit) – and is instead a loving tribute to the spectacle of pro wrestling as we knew it in the 80's and 90's. Storytelling, which is both at the heart of wrestling and the leading promotions FITE presents year around, is front and center in WrestleQuest. The game also incorporates styles from all over the world including Lucha Libre, Japanese strong style Puroresu and hardcore wrestling, just as FITE spans every style and region to present the best of the sport. So FITE is the perfect sports media brand to become part of the WrestleQuest world. You'll see FITE venues, billboards and more.
"A wrestling fan's dream universe wouldn't be complete without FITE," said James Dieghan of MegaCat Studios. We have a big vision for the Quest franchise that starts with our launch. Trust me, there is more in store for FITE in the WrestleQuest universe."
WrestleQuest hits PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, PC, and Netflix (for all subscribers) on August 22.
"The minute I heard about WrestleQuest, I knew FITE needed to be a part of it," said FITE co-Founder and COO, Michael Weber, who has an extensive background in the pro-wrestling business. "I've seen every kind of promotion and what I've learned is you can't make it in wrestling unless you truly love it – the same goes for James and the Mega Cat team – their deep connection to the legends, the stories, the lore is what makes this game an incredible experience."
