Gameplay

Rumbleverse is a battle royale game played from a third-person perspective. 40 players will be dropped into Grapital City and they must fight against each other with the goal of being the last survivor.[1] Unlike similar games in the market, Rumbleverse focuses on melee combat, and players have no access to any gun or firearm. Players have several base attacks, including punches, kicks, and elbow drops. Basic attacks can be blocked, while stronger attacks are unblockable and must be dodged instead.

At the beginning of a match, players must explore the city and collect magazines hidden inside boxes that can teach players special moves and takedowns, as well as potions that increase the player's stats such as health, stamina and strength. Only a maximum of 10 potions can be used in a match.[2] Melee weapons, such as baseball bats and chairs, can be picked up and used as weapons against other opponents. Every building in the game is climbable, allowing players to quickly navigate the city or reach strategic positions. Similar to other battle royale games, players must stay within a shrinking circle. When the player is outside the circle, a timer will begin counting down from 10. Players will be disqualified once the timer reaches zero. Iron Galaxy estimated that each match will last around 12-15 minutes.[3]

Rumbleverse utilizes a battle pass model. As players complete matches and progress in the game, they will earn Fan Mail, an in-game currency which can be used to purchase cosmetic items and outfits for their player avatar. Individual pieces of clothing can also be earned with Fan Mail. Players can also purchase Brawlla Bills, another type of currency which can be purchased through microtransactions.[3]

Development

The game was developed by Iron Galaxy. The studio, when developing Rumbleverse, drew from their experience working on live service games, as they were involved in porting Fortnite and The Elder Scrolls Online to consoles. The idea of developing a pro wrestling game first originated from Iron Galaxy's co-CEO Chelsea Blasko in October 2017. The idea led to the creation of the timer, which was considered to be "a convenient homage to the wrestling world" by the team. Traversal was considered to be an important gameplay pillar. Adam Boyes, the CEO of the studio, described it as "a very important, almost main character" for Rumbleverse, and added that players who are familiar with speedrunning and platform games such as Crash Bandicoot and Mario win a match most frequently as they understand how to navigate the map efficiently. The team believed that the lack of firearms in the game will compel players to change the tactics they usually use in other battle royale games, resulting in a different gameplay experience.[4][3]

Rumbleverse was first announced at The Game Awards 2021 by Iron Galaxy and Epic Games Publishing.[5] Initially set to be released on February 15, 2022, the game was delayed so that the development team can add more content.[6] Rumbleverse was released for PC via the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X and Series S on August 11, 2022.[7][8] Several online playtesting sessions were held. The game will feature cross-platform play at launch.[9]
