## Gameplay

*Fire Pro Wrestling World* sees a return to the timing and strategy-based gameplay the series has become famous for, which was dropped in the series' last game, *Fire Pro Wrestling* for the Xbox 360 in 2012, in favor of a button-mashing mini-game. Game modes include the traditional death matches, including steel cages, barbed wire and landmines, MMA rules matches, and more. *Fire Pro Wrestling World* is the first game in the series to incorporate online multiplayer, holding up to four players in a match.

### *Fighting Road*

"Fighting Road" is a scenario mode where you play as the new trainee for New Japan Pro Wrestling on the road to become the champion. It has three stories: 2017 NJPW Heavyweight Championship, 2017 NJPW Junior Heavyweight Championship, and Champion Road Beyond.

### *Fire Promoter*

"Fire Promoter" is a simulation mode where you run a professional wrestling group and create your own professional wrestling world. As an owner, train and strengthen players, plan and manage entertainment, and create a popular organization.

### *Craft Mode*

Ver.2.10.10 of *Fire Pro Wrestling World* features a new mode that allows you to customize an existing wrestler or your created wrestler. "Entrance Craft" is the first new craft mode that lets you create your entrance for your created or existing wrestler.

Adding from Ver.2.13.6 is "Parts Craft" that lets you export wrestler part data to edit and share on Steam Workshop or FPW NET as custom edit parts.
