    THQ and WWE in Partnership Through 2017


    According to Ripten, THQ and WWE are partnered through 2017. The bigger question is, will THQ be around long enough to fulfill it.

    We are extremely pleased with our relationship with the WWE, and have an exclusive license for the brand through 2017. Our recent videogame cover reveal for WWE ’13 on Monday Night Raw airing May 28, as well as WWE Superstar Sheamus’ recent appearance at E3 showcase examples of how well we are working collaboratively with the WWE.

    EXCLUSIVE LICENSE! WHAT! BOO! RANT! EVIL!

    Figured I'd just get that out of the way. Hoping to see continued improvement in the series, it's all they have left now.

      How is this great news for wrestling fans? The WWE games haven't been very good for a while now.

        Meh. I was kind of looking forward to seeing what a different company could do with WWE.

          Why? Because you are buddies with the devs? Serious question.

          Agreed. I bought WWE '12 on release day and after playing through the RtW mode and getting a few achievements, I shelved it. I haven't played the game in over 6 months.

          Exactly. The game got very stale after two weeks. Other sports games have no problem getting me to play them for several months on end, like The Show or NBA2K, etc. etc.

            No because I want a yearly wrestling game. If it goes to another company you are looking at minimum of 2 years. If its EA, then we know what that means. Has nothing to do with who I know. Most of my buddies from THQ are long gone, if not all of them.

              Respectfully, I disagree. Not many modes have the ambition of Universe Mode, and gameplay (especially CPU v CPU) was great in '12. Could it use some competition? Sure. But I don't think THQ has done a poor job with the series at all.

                I agree I enjoy a yearly release of a wrestling game and a year without one would be different because of the constant change of the roster.

                  Good news to me because I enjoyed WWE 12 and hope that WWE 13 improves upon the series.

                      Hopefully some company steps up and buys WWE rights from THQ like EA did for UFC. It might cost some money to get the rights, but the amount of money they'll be making(not to mention,saving, since WWE will be promoting the game like crazy,so that's a fair amount of money saved from not having to advertise it), is more than worth buying out the rights to the game.


                      Sucks to think how bad THQ has gotten considering games like Day of reckoning and early SvR games were so good

                        NOOOOOOOOOOOOO guess I won't be playing any wrestling games anytime soon. Create a new superstars where we can share created wrestlers, and i'll get that.

                          You realize that's been in the last 2 WWE games right?

                            THQ's recent WWE games have been bad but I like the direction they are going with the new brand. If they can keep going in the right direction and do the opposite of what Smackdown vs Raw did as far as progression then we should have a good WWE game very soon.

                              I loved WWE 12, the game is just plain fun in multi-player with friends next to you. If THQ can improve upon the single-player experience, as well as fixing their horrible servers, then I'm fine with the series sticking with them till 2017.
