Kane99 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Rumbleverse is a battle royale fighting game. In it you essentially beat up each other until a winner is decided, much like any battle royale game out there. The last person standing is the winner. Since it's a live service game like Fortnite and features wrestling as a theme in some regards, I could see pro wrestlers making the cut and being added as DLC. Do you think that could be a reality? I think if they can license characters like Fortnite does, it could work. I doubt we'd see AEW & WWE co-mingling, but you never know. I tried Rumbeverse myself and am not sure it's for me, but if it brings real pro wrestlers in the mix, I may try to learn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clasher Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I don't know anything about rumbleverse but are you implying that they should bring on WWE wrestlers to their list of fighters? Is that not going to be copywrite infringement since their acts and characters are already trademarked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumbleverse is pretty much a battle royale game, but with wrestling instead of guns and other weapons. You can pick up chairs and I imagine other weapons as well. Well it would require them licensing those wrestlers, but it's possible. Fortnite just recently got John Cena, so there's always a possibility.

Empire Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I really doubt it. Don't get me wrong it sounds like a good idea but Save the World is objectively less profitable than Battle Royale so it doesn't get nearly as much dev focus. It's a miracle it hasn't been shut down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 A battle royale game with Melee combat...I'm not going to lie, I've played it and it was enjoyable the first few times but after that it got really repetitive. It's like Fortnite no build mode but with hands and melee weapons only instead of guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 It's unlikely, they would need to have an agreement with the organizers of WWE pro wrestling, because the character of the pro wrestler is already copyrighted under WWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah. They would need to license any pro wrestlers they go after, much like how Fortnite does with their character skins, emotes and so on. It's not like they can just toss them into their game without first getting the right to do so. It's why Fortnite is such a success, because they get all of these characters, popular brands and more together into one game. It's like how Funko pops license pretty much every property under the sun. From Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Star Trek, sports, music stars, and more.

Shortie Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 With a game like Rumbleverse I can fully see where you would be able to bring in WWE Wrestlers into it and it would definitely be fun to see Pro Wrestlers come into the game. Of course, they would have to get rights from the companies such as WWE or even AEW, but I feel if they could come to some kind of arrangement, it would be great for both parties to bring them to the game. I myself have played Rumbleverse a few times and I will admit, with how the game is played, having wrestlers in the game would work amazingly.

I was a Funko Pop collector at one point but I gave away all my Funko pops to my nephew because he absolutely loves them, I think at this point it is safe to say that they've got a Funko Pop for every superhero movie stars and action movie characters as well including some from horror Movies. If rumbleverse could get license to bring pro-wrestling characters into their video games then they are most likely on the right part to a successful video game.

I myself have played Rumbleverse a few times and I will admit, with how the game is played, having wrestlers in the game would work amazingly. Oh for sure. It all comes down to licensing and it's not like WWE and AEW haven't licensed out their stuff. They have video games, toys and collectibles from third party companies, so the idea that they could license their characters is a real possibility. John Cena has a skin in Fortnite, and he has a WWE title belt backbling, so they had to get WWE's go ahead for that. And yeah, the game is built around wrestling moves, and even has emotes and other things that are inspired by pro wrestling. I hope they work together with these wrestling companies, because I may actually jump back into playing it. 6 hours ago, Justin11 said: I was a Funko Pop collector at one point but I gave away all my Funko pops to my nephew because he absolutely loves them, I think at this point it is safe to say that they've got a Funko Pop for every superhero movie stars and action movie characters as well including some from horror Movies.

Exactly, they will license pretty much anything that's popular. Which is why it could be easy for Rumbleverse to work with these pro wrestling organizations to add more pro wrestling stuff, characters, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
