Iron Galaxy’s brawler-themed Battle Royale Rumbleverse was due to release officially on 15th February, ahead of an Early Access period from 8th February – but it’s been delayed indefinitely. That’s following a beta period, which the developer says “taught us a lot”. A statement said: “We’re excited about the game we’re making – and we’re glad you are, too – but there’s more we want to do to perfect the experience.”
If you bought the Early Access Pack from the PS Store, then the developer says that it’s “working with our platform partners to refund your purchase”. The pack will be re-released once a new launch date is determined, but there’s no word on when that will be. It’ll be conducting more PC beta tests from 12th February, but we get the distinct impression that full launch is some way away now. A bit of a bummer if you were looking forward to this!

The trailer felt like a game specifically designed to elicit a combination of irritation and boredom.
I hate this game and I've never even played it. The trailer seemed custom made to make me want to smack it in it's big stupid face. I'm glad it's gone.
Just make a fun arcade wrestling game. Clearly the WWE can't create one with their license. No wrestling fan wanted a wrestling BR game. No BR fan wanted one with wrestling.
While BR titles saturate the market, the arcade multiplayer market is pretty barren. Why not fill a niche instead of showing up to a trend super late?
@MFTWrecks The AEW game looks a lot more like No Mercy and the old wrestling games. Could be fun especially with their growing roster.
Twist of Fate
Retro mania and fire pro wrestling is enough wrestling for me. Maybe room for a proper no mercy sequel/spiritual successor.
Iron Galaxy (quite frankly) sucks, so I don't expect anything of quality from this.
The next EA Sports PGA Tour was also delayed indefinitely, but that wasn't covered
so ? more copy/paste fortnite-esque trash
@MFTWrecks and changing the look of the game would help tremendously too . why purchase and upgrade new gaming hardware if they’re just gonna keep cutting corners with this lazy cartoony crap
There goes March's ps+ offering
@nessisonett just look liked fortnite to me
I played it when there was a beta a while back. It was horrible. I hated the combat which was sloppy and confusing. Even when a large group of players came together it was a slow cumbersome mess. The map needs to be much smaller, speed needs to be increased and something other than wrestling combat. Pretty much everything needs to be better.
Hopefully if it comes back it has a different art style.
Wow, lotta salt in these comments. Some people need to chill. I managed to get into the beta last time and this was brilliant fun, way more than I was expecting. Interested to see what they do with the extra time, but really I don’t understand how people can be so offended and outraged by a game they’ve never played and don’t ever have to play. There’s plenty of games out there I don’t like but I don’t think calling a team of peoples hard work “trash” is ever appropriate. Eh, rant over. Best of luck to the devs and will probably check the game out again when it’s ready.
@nomither6 lazy? Have a word with yourself mate. Surprising amount of work goes into creating that 'lazy' stuff.
@daveofduncan the graphics and art is low effort . i’m not talking about anything else .
Showing that CGI trailer first was a dumb move, Iron Galaxy could do something great but f*** off with these trailers, they do nothing but over-sell the game.
