Big Games of 2011: The Rock To Electrify THQ's WWE '12 As Exclusive Retail Pre-Order Bonus

Miz To Awesomeify Alongside Him

THQ is making one of the big games of 2011 even bigger. The company's pre-order program for WWE '12 focuses on Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Often touted as “the most electrifying man in all of entertainment,” legendary WWE Superstar The Rock will be available as a playable character for consumers who pre-order the game at any participating retailer within the United States or Canada for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft or PlayStation3 computer entertainment system (while supplies last).  The Rock’s in-game character will resemble his current-day appearance, including a shaved head and new tattoos.  

 

 

In addition, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 system owners who pre-order the game at GameStop in the United States or EB Games in Canada will receive bonus attire for WWE Superstar The Miz (while supplies last).  Hailed as the “must-see WWE Superstar,” consumers will have access to his popular “I’m Awesome” entrance t-shirt, as well as one of his trademark business suits.  Consumers interested in WWE ’12 for the Wii system from Nintendo will automatically receive The Rock as a playable character, as well as The Miz’s alternate entrance gear options, as part of their purchase.

WWE ’12 is currently in development for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 system and Wii, with a scheduled release date of November 22, 2011 in North America.

WWE ’12 will enable players to engage in the WWE experience through the new Predator Technology dynamic gameplay system, which is poised to deliver the most fluid, dynamic, authentic and action-packed WWE simulation experience to date.  Included are the new Breaking Point submission system, new Attributes and control layout as well as significant improvements to other key gameplay systems, including Momentum and Stamina.  WWE Universe Mode 2.0 will generate new and more impactful elements of unpredictability based on player decisions, while dynamic visual changes to gameplay presentation, including new animations, camera positions, lighting and improved rendering, will set the tone for delivering an exceptional simulation of WWE programming.

WWE ’12 will feature the franchise’s best-in-class creation suite, enabling players to develop and customize their own Superstars, entrances, finishing moves, storylines, Highlight Reels and other all-new capabilities to be announced later this year.  As well, the popular Road to WrestleMania Mode will enable players to explore compelling new storylines and major gameplay improvements.  WWE ’12 will also boast one of the largest rosters of WWE Superstars, WWE Divas and WWE Legends in franchise history, including cover Superstar Randy Orton, John Cena, The Miz and Alberto Del Rio.
