THQ is to announce the “next addition to the WWE videogame family” on Friday, March 28. No further details of the announcement have been released, although we’re anticipating news of WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009.

The announcement will follow the 6th Annual THQ Superstar Challenge, taking place at the House of Blues in Orlando on March 27. A total of 16 Superstars will compete in a single-elimination tournament to decide the new king or queen of WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008. Reigning Challenge champion Elijah Burke will defend his title against superstars including Randy Orton, Carlito, Rey Mysterio, Matt Hardy and Ashley.

Look out for details on the new WWE video game later this week.
