Goichi ‘Suda 51’ Suda obtained his begin in gaming by the Fire Pro sequence, and his story mode for 1994’s Super Fire Pro Wrestling Special is the stuff of infamy. After rising by the ranks as a rookie wrestler, a sequence of tragedies strikes – and a handful of days after lastly turning into world champion, your character commits suicide. Now Suda 51 is writing a sequel.
Tentatively titled Champion Road II, the brand new Fire Pro Wrestling World DLC follows up on these occasions now 25 years later. It casts you because the son of the primary character from the unique story, who’s now a rookie professional wrestler, too. Suda tells us he’s nonetheless engaged on the situation writing, however the thought is to painting the interior workings of a professional wrestler, and all of the drama that comes together with that – although he’s too early within the course of to touch upon whether or not it’s going to go as darkish as the unique story.
It’ll be related in presentation to the earlier New Japan-themed story mode, although Suda desires to go in a unique route artistically, seemingly with extra pixel artwork to push the plot alongside. Your character’s model will seemingly develop all through the game, and his moveset will change and develop as he travels and fights new opponents.
Suda says situation writing is a really private factor for him – so he’s doing it at house, outdoors of workplace hours. That means launch timing continues to be up within the air, however he hopes it’ll be out a while this 12 months.
Additionally, Suda has been speaking with Spike Chunsoft producers about getting Fire Pro Wrestling Special on Steam – an concept that’s not but set in stone, but it surely does imply that we’d lastly see that notorious ending in English.
