And, in wrestling news… Wrestling With Emotions: New Kid On The Block gains a bit more traction. While in early development without any release date yet, this is one you want to keep your eye on.

I’ve been following the developments of the wonderful people over at Team Lazerbeam with their classic wrestling posts (Brutus the Barber Beefcake, anyone?) and am keen to see where this goes.

If you’re out of the loop, Wrestling With Emotions: New Kid On The Block is an upcoming choice-based adventure title that follows on from the team’s 2016 entry, Wrestling With Emotions: The Quest For The Perfect Match. Very clever.

Some six years after the first game, we find ourselves as the rookie wrestler/lover, pulling out all sorts of powerbomb puns on the sport and dating arena. 

The features proposed in Wrestling With Emotions: New Kid On The Block thus far include:

  • Tower of Power – Craft a new persona with the ‘Look Out Lovers’ character creator, combining props and accessories to create your own dazzling dreamboat!
  • Lay the Smackdown – Build loving relationships, lifelong friendships and bitter rivalries with a diverse cast of suplex superstars! 
  • Simply Flawless – Play by your own rules! Shape your character and steer their path through the promotion, with multiple endings based on your choices.
  • Genetically Jacked, Athletically Stacked – Level up your M.E.A.T. (Muscle, Elegance, Attitude & Theatrics) stats and carve out a space in wrestling history!
  • Cause I’m That Damn Good – Develop unique signature moves as you fight your way to the top and find yourself by becoming someone else!
  • Gimme a Hell Yeah – Enjoy punk graphics and surreal songs in classic Team Lazerbeam style!

I was about to say ‘no trailer yet’, but that would be a lie:

Keep an eye out for updates, but you won’t be causing any harm by wishlisting in on Steam. If you want an idea of how these guys can make you feel, check out Teenage Blob – a title featured in my GOTY 2020!
