Seriously. We can't thank you enough for all of your wonderful feedback, reviews, support and patience. To a small development team like us, it means so much.

As a small thank you, we've added a brand new game mode... the Battle Rumble!



This new free game mode is like a Battle Royal, but only starts with 2 wrestlers and adds participants every so-many seconds. It allows you to set how many seconds until a new participant is added. You can also decide if you want them to enter in the order you selected, in random order, or just randomize the CPU-controlled wrestlers only.

As always, let us know of any bugs you might find. Happy holidays and have fun!

As always, if the update broke anything or if you find additional things we should address, please don't hesitate to reach out to us and let us know. We're always so grateful to get any feedback and we'll always try to act on that feedback as quickly as we can!

We have just uploaded an update that addresses some user suggestions and feedback. Thank you to everyone who gives us feedback.

Here are the official patch notes for version 1.1.5:

• Added paging to arenas and wrestlers to decrease load times and add the ability to browse all uploaded creations. Currently looking to improve server speed on downloads.
  
• Added on-screen helper graphics
  
• Changed the controls based on feedback. Now, in addition to pressing grapple + strike to run, perform strong-strikes, climb the ropes, etc., you can now also use another dedicated button (the "B" button on an Xbox controller). The “change partner” control has been moved to the right bumper.
  
• Added camera flashes
  
• Fixed 2 minor tag team rope glitches
  
• Fixed tag team A.I. where they would try a double-team move while facing the wrong direction
  
• Added A.I. to attack if the tag partner is annoying you
  
• Upgraded game to Unreal Engine 4.24
  
• Added controller images on match options screen to refresh every one of the controls

Even more free content created & uploaded for you. Now we've added tag team elimination matches... 3v3, 4v4 and 5v5! Try them out and hope you have fun with them! Any bugs, just let us know and we'll jump on them!

We have a normal 2v2, a 6-person tag team called the "Trios" match, 8-person tag and a TEN person 5v5 tag match!

To tag, hold towards your partner (left or right) and press strike or grapple. They should turn blue to indicate you are close enough to make the tag. There should also be instructions below the energy bar.

You can also drag your opponent over to the partner closest to the turnbuckle to initiate a double-team move.

If any of your partners have a power-up, they can burn that power-up to break-up a pin attempt. However, once all of your team's power-ups have been spent, a 3-count might be in your future.

Finally, don't get too close to the opponent's partners. They'll distract you... possibly enough for your opponent to take advantage!

We can't thank you enough for all of your support this year. We really hope you enjoy the new match types and we look forward to continue to deliver content next year too - as always, these content updates are free!

As the newest featured wrestling game in the Steam Winter Sale, CHIKARA: Action Arcade Wrestling will be available for $11.25 (25% off S.R.P.) from December 19 through January 2.
