THQ announces new WWE title

Legends of Wrestlemania coming in March, 2009

THQ has announced a new addition to its WWE family of games as part of its full-year financial report.

Legendsof Wrestlemania is due for release in March next year on next-gen formats.

THQ CEO Brian Farrell told investors:

“Our new Legends game is scheduled to launch in conjunction with the WWE’s Annual WrestleMania Event next March.

“We look at these legends of WrestleMania as a totally unique extension. What it's going to feature is a lot of the older wrestlers that have retired and part of the history in legacy of wrestling and we think the WWE fan, and our research shows there are very avid fans, will be given a new experience. You will see it's a lot more arcade play-based.

"It has a very different feel to it [to WWE], so we think it's additive to the brand. We don’t think it puts up the same numbers as SmackDown versus Raw, but that it will reach a core part of that audience that buy a second game.”

Really can't wait to see how you pump out another rushed game. Let me guess, there'll be a new version every single march to tie in with wrestlemania and each time you'll give us fans more (and by more we mean the same but we've changed what buttons you hit to escape a submission so its like a totally different game).

Don't let my sarcastic rant put you off, I had been a casual fan of the wrestling games for many years (their fun) but after the last incarnation I felt robbed ... literally.

Quality over quantity everytime, and if that means I have to wait an extra 6months to a year for a game then I don't mind, heck it might even give me long enough to get bored of the last one.
