Do you all remember, as fans of the game say, the greatest wrestling game ever made? Of course, we are talking about WWF No Mercy. So here we are with some news for you! Ultra Pro Wrestling, the spiritual successor of WWF No Mercy, has shared its most recent gameplay footage and revealed that real-life wrestlers will be a part of the game as DLC.
Initially, the game was created by Hyperfocus Games, the Scottish studio, and intended to be a licensed game for a renowned Scottish wrestling promotion. However, the promotion was withdrawn from the project.
Later on, Hyperfocus Games changed the direction of the work and created Ultra Pro Wrestling itself, which, by the way, is promised to be released soon for PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
With the new UPW showcase, it was obvious that the game had a lot of references to WWF No Mercy, including the animations and the HUD.
The real-life "free agent" wrestlers will be a part of the game (they will be available as paid DLC). Here is the list of them:
- 2 Cold Scorpio
- Al Snow
- Arn Anderson
- Barbarian
- The Blue Meanie
- Bryan Clark / Adam Bomb / Wrath
- Buff Bagwell
- Bull Nakano
- Chris Candido
- Crowbar
- Demolition
- Devon Dudley
- Dynamite Kid
- Francine
- Gangrel
- Glacier
- "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan
- Hayabusa
- Jake ‘The Snake' Roberts
- Kanyon / Mortis
- Krusher Kruschev
- Louie Spicolli
- The Masked Superstar
- Matt Cardona
- "Mr Wonderful" Paul Orndorff
- Nova
- Sandman
- Tito Santana
- Warhorse
- Warlord.
As Hyperfocus Games stated, each of these wrestlers would be available as paid DLC and the proceeds would go directly to the real-life wrestlers themselves or their families.
