WWE fans might remember the ‘Attitude Era’ during the 1990s for Stone Cold Steve Austin’s antics on the show, and it is this generation which will form a highlight of the new WWE ’13, which is slated to launch in October this year on multiple platforms. THQ has revealed that the game is currently in development, touting it to be the ‘revolutionary next installment’ in the WWE flagship videogame franchise.
Apart from all its other features, WWE ’13 will also kick in a single-player campaign which will be based on the influential ‘Attitude Era,’ we’ve mentioned above. It will even mark the debut of the new WWE Live audio and presentation system which is claimed to produce authentic and vibrant commentary, sound effects and crowd participation levels. Moreover, gamers will be able to experience attention-grabbing moments such as ring breaks and barricade crashes.
“WWE ’13 is certain to ignite our enthusiastic, worldwide fan base and encourage them to live a revolution that simply cannot be ignored. WWE Live will bring the impassioned WWE live event experience into the living rooms of consumers, while critical core gameplay improvements and a serious dose of attitude will enable them to experience WWE action like never before,” shared Sean Ratcliffe, Vice President, Global Brand Management, THQ.
The series’ popular Creation Suite would also be comprised within the game, allowing players to develop and customize superstars, entrances, arenas, finishing moves, storylines, highlight reels and more. A number of wrestlers from the ‘Attitude Era’ as well as from the current generation will make their way into the game’s roster. These include the likes of CM Punk, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Sheamus, Undertaker, Mankind, Chris Jericho, Big Show and Mark Henry.
WWE ’13 will be released in North America on October 30, 2012 for the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii. It can be pre-ordered now at a price of 59.99 USD (approx. Rs. 3,340).
