WRESTLING GAME HISTORY LESSON:
AKI Corporation &

parted ways after the successful No Mercy.
They went back to work for

.
They took over duties on WCW Mayhem 2.
WCW was sold.
But developers have shared these fun clips publicly!
Our game
#UPW
is inspired by AKI.
To ALL of you who helped UPW become what it is today:
I started this journey almost 10 years ago as a passion project and a love letter to those N64 wrestling games - which have never been bettered by any others!
There were many 'ups and downs' over the years, including a FIVE…

Ive seen one or two comments saying we changed the models too much from the trailer. Im so confused by this. I can't help but see the new ones as anything other than an upgrade. The style is essentially the same but the newer ones are higher quality with more detail. Thoughts?

Chris Jericho's Liontamer special move in N64's Revenge was DEFINITELY a favorite back in the day.
What old school N64 AKI moves (or new moves?) are you looking forward to putting on your
#CAW
in UPW?
#AEWCollision
Lots of people asking about the limitations of
#UPW
CAW system.
So for a small taste here is Bill Dollar if he was bald, had bad knees and stole Betty Bulldozer boots… and then dyed his ring gear black… what?
One of the best parts of creating your custom wrestler is personalizing the moveset.
We hope you enjoy seeing these animations once again - and the plethora of new ones that are being added!
