I am wondering if this will mean some new Hugo movies/series.
Think Hugo died 10+ years ago 
They seem to try to already make some publicity about wrestle quest with real life wrestlers…

Next week will be interesting with some news on the (according to me) two most important game launches this year:
8th of august: Launch Wrestle Quest. There has been quite some promotion and attention, including on Twitch.
10th of august: Closed beta test of The Walking dead: Betrayal. Has been wishlisted a lot when announced on steam. Looking forward to how this will be executed.
Some more info on this game from the FAQ:
- When does the closed beta start?
Our closed beta will run from August 10th to August 14th. If you haven’t signed up for beta access you can do so here: https://na.alienwarearena.com/ucf/show/2168992/boards/contest-and-giveaways-global/Giveaway/the-walking-dead-betrayal-closed-beta-giveaway or on our Steam page! Stay tuned to #announcements for more information as we move closer to that date. - Can we customize our characters?
Yes! You can add some flair to your character with cosmetics that can be bought with our in-game currency. - Can I play as familiar characters from The Walking Dead?
Yes! Character customization options and outfits will allow you to play characters from The Walking Dead. As we launch into Early Access later this year we’ll have one character outfit available to unlock, with additional character outfits available later. - Does The Walking Dead: Betrayal have Steam Deck support?
We do not officially support Linux based operating systems, such as SteamOS. While the game does run on the Steam Deck, you will need to dedicate some time to manually configuring your controls and keybindings. Our other game, Project Winter, runs flawlessly on the Steam Deck, so odds are we’ll end up officially supporting the Steam Deck at some point, but we have no date for that at this time. - How is The Walking Dead: Betrayal different from Project Winter?
While there are quite a few similarities between the two, The Walking Dead: Betrayal expands upon Project Winter’s core gameplay loop by further emphasizing the need for cooperation and its survival elements. More information about the game can be found in our SDCC Developer interview here https://www.youtube.com/live/e1hNgfRbjOw?t=23545 - Can I use my Project Winter cosmetics in The Walking Dead: Betrayal?
Unfortunately, no. We’ve significantly overhauled our technical stack handling cosmetics and character customization. Due to these changes, it’s not feasible to bring over every cosmetic from Project Winter. Don’t worry! We’ll have plenty of new The Walking Dead themed cosmetics for players to unlock. Reinventing some of the iconic cosmetics from Project Winter to better fit The Walking Dead: Betrayal’s style is not out of the question either. - Does the game follow the comics or the show?
The Walking Dead: Betrayal follows the storyline and events portrayed in the comics. - Will the game be available on consoles?
Unfortunately, we don’t have any information about a console release to share at the moment. Right now we’re focusing on making the game great on Steam. - Can I play as a walker?
Yes! One of our key mechanics allows players who have died to control both their re-animated corpse, and other walkers found around the map. Torment your friends, both alive and dead! - How much will the game cost?
We are releasing into Early Access in 2023 at a price of $19.99 USD on steam.
I do not expect a lot from Atom Eve and Vice NCDVR in terms of launch and revenue for the company.
Glitch busters should be considered as a fail (allthough the game is decent and enjoyable), while escape academy does OK

Woow this is bad, last minute delay of launch:
Mega Cat Studios and Skybound Games announced today that
WrestleQuest
will now be launching August 22 across all platforms.
When performing final checks on one of our launch platforms, we discovered it was possible for players to lose their save game progress when playing
WrestleQuest
on multiple different devices.
Because this is a game filled with hours of content and player progress is so important, we could never bodyslam our fans like that.
We are truly proud of this game and believe that we have a product that delivers on all counts. We’re blown away by the support we’ve seen from players excited for
WrestleQuest
.
Thank you all. We’ll see you in the ring August 22.

Thats superbad since launch was planned today.
From a crisis management point of view this is the best thing they could do. You only have one launch and if people are struggling with a technical issue they are going to abondon it and never return. Nevertheless I do not think a large part of the people would have been affected (it is only for those playing the game on multiple platforms, which is a very small %)
However it shows that from the point of view of developing this game, they made serious mistakes. These are things you do not check hours before a launch (but months in advance).
Spillet virker å være i en avansert utviklingsfase, så det vil nok ikke ta lang tid før det blir lansert. Det er logisk å anta at de sannsynligvis kan bygge på grunnlaget fra Project Winter.
