| Published | Kind | Announcement | Build |
|---|---|---|---|
| In-game event | All Gas, No Brakes - Even more characters can be used in matches (remember to make it inter-promotional to go beyond the limits of one roster!) and a new "Extended" FX option takes longer to remove splatters or eliminated opponents. - Characters are added/removed as quickly as you can tap the button - whereas holding it now takes you to a screen where you can hand-pick ALL participants by name! This function can… | 18565362 | |
| In-game event | Go Away Heat - New "Draft" universe option allows Pro users to jumble up the rosters (it goes without saying that you should BACK UP any cherished data before risking undesirable results!). - Lots of new taunts include: "Cero Miedo", "3 Point Turn", "Samoan Wave", "Throat Finger", "Blow Kiss", "W Sign", "L Sign", "Bicep Kiss", "Shush", "Here Comes The Boom". - Roaming in cold outdoor weather (including nigh… | 17897449 | |

| In-game event | Ring Rust - Lots of new costumes from the prison game (Hard Time III) include robotic metals! - New "Transparent 4" hairstyle works as a toupee (which can be applied automatically if you press "Restore Default" on the Wally Stacks character). - Improved consistency in the colouring of transparent hair length and fringes. - Age-appropriate relationships with the opposite sex are assumed to be romantic and… | 16299408 | |
| Game update | v1.6.9+ A tiny bit of fine-tuning to the most recent patch ensures that the correct dialogue is always used for the new weight change missions, etc. And you can now "roam" into court the same way you would any other confrontation! | 15792790 | |
| Game update | Justice Is Served - New missions in career mode include gaining/losing weight. - Hardcore violence is better tolerated in match ratings, and losing limbs gets a bigger pop! - Hardcore gimmicks are less likely without a rivalry. - Asking to join someone's promotion via the approach method now has the correct dialogue. - Court fines are paid to the correct company in booking mode. - Court cases can't be booked wit… | 15774730 | |

| Major update | Hard Times - To celebrate the release of the new "Hard Time III" game, grievances can now be heard in court in both career modes! This new location is also accessible in roaming via the black door to the east of the barber shop. - Handcuffs can be used to temporarily tie an opponent's arms behind their back when you grab them! There is a new gimmick match to this effect. - The level of gore can be raised… | 15660673 | |
| In-game event | Armed & Dangerous A new family of arm manipulation moves stretches your opponents to the limit - including a "Vertebreaker", "Crucifix Drop" (Killswitch), and "Pump Handle Slam"! Unfortunately, each one took so long to animate that there wasn't time for much more in this update. Elsewhere, new costume possibilities include leg tattoos (that are perfectly placed to be hidden behind boots when you realize you've c… | 14636496 | |
| Major update | Trading Blows v1.6.5 brings the school game's new headwear to wrestling - including a neck brace! Samoan characters can also now enjoy a wider range of tattoo combinations. Meanwhile, the gameplay under the surface continues to evolve with different ways to "trade blows" organically in a brawl - including the "Samoan Spike" as a dedicated move. To keep things topical, a new camera option also allows you to d… | 14259083 | |
| Game update | v1-6-4 Emergency patch to fix an oversight that caused the camera to crash in empty scenes (i.e. no referee at the start of a match). The "Manual" camera is also now an official setting that ensures it never moves unless you want it to. This patch also offers early access to a new mechanic I'm working on, where more actions can be performed while seated - such as picking up, dropping, and even crafting! | 13646633 | |
| Major update | Front Row Seat Not only is there a new TV studio where interviews can take place, but improved camera controls give you an even better view! With a simple mouse click in the centre of the screen (or a tap of the D-Pad on a controller), you can now temporarily override the angle. A brand new "Spectator" angle also lets you enjoy the action from a static point, while an improved "Square" angle now squares up to… | 13586388 | |
| Major update | Happy New Year! To celebrate the game's 4th year, a generous amount of new content has arrived! Big shows now take place in a larger new "Epic Arena", which features a ramp & stage with video screens. What takes place in that arena also now includes a handful of stipulations that have never been seen in a wrestling game before - from ropes & chains to water! Less dramatic changes include forbidding strikes or… | — | |
| Game update | 64-bit Fix This version is rebuilt for 64-bit as intended instead of 32-bit, which should reinstate mod support and prevent any other compatibility issues. | 12779635 | |
| In-game event | Everybody Talks Too Much Inspired by recent changes in the school game, the multiple choice dialogue system gives you even more to talk about in wrestling! By gesturing towards somebody, you can now initiate a conversation where you press either side to change the subject. Just bear in mind that rejection is as dispiriting as you'd expect to prevent spamming. The v1.6.1 update also features a handful of new hybrid move… | 12774369 | |
| Game update | Exposed Wood & Stretchers! - New "Stretcher" alternative to the standard bed, which can be found in the hospital and sometimes appears at ringside instead of the ladder. - Canvas options now include exposed wood or metal - which sounds different and scores bonus damage! These also now appear as gimmick matches in career mode. - New shark mask and reverse headband. - More feminine sitting poses. - Reinstated the key as a… | 12469918 | |
| Major update | Welcome To The Workshop! While we all wish it was easier to edit the assets in my new games, Steam Workshop is finally here to at least make it indirectly possible! You can now "subscribe" to a whole range of mods and have them automatically show up in your game by choosing the alternate "Play Modded" launch option: Not only is this easier for users, but it's also fairer for the developer if all of this happens within… | 12245288 | |
| In-game event | Summer Fashions This summer's v1.5.9 update introduces a handful of new costumes to help you recreate certain looks! I also took the opportunity to finally fix the glitchy "Transparent" hair. Other polishing includes a new stumbling alternative to flying off the edge of furniture, which keeps you on your feet more often. The way focusing works in roaming is also evolving, as you now automatically disengage fro… | 11746778 | |
| In-game event | Street Fighter Combos v1.5.8 introduces a handful of classic moves to celebrate the return of Street Fighter! It has been a fun experiment in animating unorthodox attacks with unique mechanics. They're not distributed among the characters as standard, so purists needn't fear as you'll never see them unless you go looking for them. This is also the long-awaited update that finally allows personalized team names under… | — | |
| In-game event | Why Did The Chicken Cross The Rhodes? You never know what each update could contain when you're trying to keep a wrestling game topical! After taking a month off to see how Wrestlemania panned out, I found myself creating a rubber chicken. I also finally got around to adding my version of the "Cross Rhodes" - which was every bit as hard to animate as I feared, but benefits from being used as a running/flying move from the rear for… | 10964579 | |
| In-game event | Mid-Air Collisions Inspired by last month's Royal Rumble spot, mid-air collisions are now a spectacle in this game! Whenever 2 flying attacks meet in mid-air, BOTH participants can hit each other and tumble to the ground in a variety of ways. This is, of course, quite rare unless you get performative in multiplayer mode! You're more likely to see it at ground level, where 2 running attacks can also result in a do… | 10618922 | |
| In-game event | Sign Of The Times Fresh out of the Christmas break, the project is entering its 3rd year of free updates! The big news is that being able to write text in 3D is changing the way the world communicates with you, as a poster backstage indicates who is in the ring should you choose to interfere. The train also now indicates 8 different destinations through each of its doors. Another nice detail is that the new weat… | — | |
| In-game event | It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas... It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, as seasonal weather such as rain & snow is forecast in my games for the first time! There are also gifts large & small that you can actually open to reveal secret weapons, and the last event of each year now has fun with these festive gimmicks. To celebrate the World Cup at the same time, you may even see a few balls lying around with their own uniqu… | — | |
| In-game event | Tacked On My games were arguably the first to ever use thumbtacks as a weapon (in both 2D & 3D), so now they're back and badder than ever before! An improved higher-resolution effect finally separates each puddle of tacks from the bag itself, allowing you to create your own trails wherever it's dropped. Even broken furniture can now shed a few nails too! Improved collision detection then punishes each in… | — | |
| Release | In Your Head You won't believe your eyes when you see the spooky v1.5.1 update through the new "First Person" camera! Although it's obviously a novelty, it's surprisingly playable and makes roaming even more immersive than it was already. Fighting is every bit as disorientating as it would be in real life, however - and even more likely to leave you with a headache! This creepy Halloween update also introdu… | — |
