Today Spike Chunsoft has released Fire Pro Wrestling World on the PlayStation 4. This time the game features real wrestlers from the world of New Japan Pro-Wrestling. All the wrestlers have their signature moves such as Kenny Omega’s “One Winged Angel” and much more.

Here is a list of the game’s key features:

  • Real Wrestlers, Real Moves – NJPW, Japan’s premiere pro-wrestling promotion, joins the roster! Battle alongside and against your favorites in the all-new Fighting Road scenario mode.
  • Mix Up the Rules – Modes include Deathmatch (steel cage, barbed wire, or landmines), no-holds barred Gruesome Fighting, and SWA homebrew rules that mix pro-wrestling and MMA.
  • Unlimited Customization – Create your dream wrestler from over a thousand devastating moves, and even more body parts, to battle for custom championship belts. Personalize the ring, mat logos, and even the referee!
  • Realistic Simulation – Give your creations personalities with a robust system that defines their every action. Does your wrestler play to the crowd, or play dirty? You provide actors for the ringside drama.
  • Play Online – Share your custom wrestlers and organize bouts with players from around the world.

The game has some DLC offerings as well. These Include a Fire Promoter mode, Fighting Road: 2017 NJPW Junior Heavyweight Championship, and an additional scenario to be announced.

Season Pass (3 DLCs) ($49.99):

  • Fire Promoter $19.99 – Call the shots as manager of your own pro wrestling promotion! Build up your team of talent from local heroes to living legends. The world is yours for the taking!
