It feels like only days ago that I was bemoaning the lack of great modern wrestling games. Mainly because it was actually days ago, with my review of WWE 2K16.
Well, it appears that my prayers may be answered, as Insane Championship Wrestling – Scotland’s flagship wrestling promotion – used its biggest show of the year at Glasgow’s SECC to announce that not only would ICW Fear and Loathing: The Game be coming to Steam, but it would also be coming to next-gen consoles, including the Xbox One!
Maveric Media are the developers tasked with bringing the likes of Grado, Jack Jester, Noam Dar, the New Age Kliq and Polo Promotions to your screens and, whilst a release date has yet to be confirmed, they have released a short teaser trailer which includes virtual renditions of both the Garage nightclub and ICW ring announcer, Simon Cassidy.

Most excitingly of all, Maveric Media have suggested that the game itself will be based on the best wrestling game of all-time, the Nintendo 64’s WWF No Mercy.
Yes, I am fanboying a little at the moment.
No, I am not sorry.
