Exclusive: The Wrestling Code Development Update—What’s The Latest On The Game?
Virtual Basement’s The Wrestling Code, an independent wrestling game announced in 2022, remains in active development according to sources close to the project, despite a notable slowdown in public communications. The game initially generated considerable excitement through frequent announcements of signed wrestlers and showcases of in-engine footage.
However, the developer has significantly reduced its social media activity in recent months, leaving fans uncertain about progress. The communications gap coincided with trademark concerns that surfaced around the title, which the developer addressed in February. As of now, the trademark for The Wrestling Code is listed as live and pending with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Despite reduced public visibility, sources confirm that Virtual Basement has not shelved the project. Development continues, though specifics about the current state of progress, feature completeness, or projected release timeline remain unclear. The situation reflects a common challenge for independent game developers balancing ongoing development work with public-facing communication.
