THQ knows who’s buttering its bread — the publisher revealed toCVGthat, in addition to its currently announced titles, it’s got another World Wrestling Entertainment franchise up its sleeve.
The title will be a fresh game on top of the other franchises previously revealed:WWE Smackown! Vs. Raw, the arcade-styleWWE All Stars, and the free-to-playSmackdown! Vs. Raw Online.Online, however, will only be available in Asia; there’s no Western version planned at the time. However, those in the West will get this mysterious new game, which Bilson says is “less simmy” than theSmackdown! Vs. Rawtitles, closer to the fast-paced arcade style ofWWE All-Stars.
“We’re growing that brand basically through an alternate SKU every six months,” he says of the WWE brand, “the other SKUs [All-Starsand the unannounced game] are more friendly, easier and less simmy thanSmackdown! Vs. Raw.”
Smackdown! Vs. Raw 2011is scheduled to hit this fall;WWE All-Starsis out next year.
