TNA Entertainment have announced that Midway Games will be unveiling the upcoming wrestling videogame, TNA iMPACT!. The titles premiere is part of Midway’s title sponsorship for this coming weekend’s “Bound for Glory,” TNA Wrestling’s event in Atlanta.
“TNA and their superstars have been closely involved in the game’s development,” says Steven Allison, Midway’s chief marketing officer, “and we can’t wait to deliver the authentic and cutting-edge TNA style of wrestling to gamers next spring.”
Personally, I won’t have to wait that long — I’ll be spending some time with the game this weekend, as well as attending Sunday’s “Bound for Glory” Pay-Per-View event. So I guess now would be a good time to mention that I’ve never watched TNA Wrestling in my life. Anyone care to bring me up to speed before I embarrass myself?
TNA iMPACT! is scheduled for a Spring 2008 release on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, and PlayStation 2.
