UPW is attempting to capture the arcade wrestling style made popular with the Nintendo 64 AKI series of wrestling games, including the ability to customize every wrestler in the game as well as arenas and promotions. UPW will include many different match types which can be played on or offline. Sam Vallely, CEO of Hyperfocus Games, joins us live to discuss the progress of the highly anticipated "WWF No Mercy" inspired game, new features being developed and the timeline for release.
