"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. Fire Pro Wrestling World is the first game in the series to incorporate online multiplayer, holding up to four players in a match. Game modes include the traditional death matches, including steel cages, barbed wire and landmines, MMA rules matches, and more.

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.
