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. The game is the first in the series to become licensed by New Japan Pro-Wrestling. It features a Story Mode, dubbed Fighting Road, and the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. A Jr. Heavyweight Fighting Road story, as well as a Promoter mode, dubbed Fire Promoter, were made available later as DLC shortly after release. A DLC featuring wrestlers from the women's professional wrestling promotion World Wonder Ring Stardom was added after the game's release. Another DLC pack titled "Fighting Road: Champion Road Beyond" which features Sumio Saeba, the son of Morio Sumisu, as he tries to restore his father's glory while maintaining his own career and reputation in a story that directly continues from Super Fire Pro Wrestling Special. Both stories were written by SUDA51.
