There’s no ‘Smackdown vs. Raw’ anywhere near its moniker. No platforms are specifically outed but Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii logos are spotted in the trailer.
Since 2004 THQ have been using the ‘WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW’ name but now it’s ditching the full name and just going with WWE 12.
”With vital changes to core gameplay, innovative feature support and an incredibly striking presentation, the WWE simulation experience is back with WWE ‘12,” said Danny Bilson, THQ EVP of Core Games. It’ll be on hand next week at E3.
”At E3 2011, this is the definitive WWE videogame experience you do not want to miss.” WWE ‘12 releases on Xbox 360, PS3 and Nintendo Wii this fall. Below is the official feature list so far, followed by some in-game shots and the teaser trailer.
