THQ core games boss Danny Bilson has revealed the publisher is planning a fourth game utilising its WWE license for release in 2011.
The game will join a roster which includes Smackdown vs Raw, All-Stars and Online. The latter, however, doesn’t look set for a Western release.
“I don’t think there’s any chance of that coming to the US or Europe, not soon anyway,” Bilson told CVG. “We don’t want to confuse Smackdown vs Raw [the brand] with that online free-to-play game.
“That’s a big, expensive title, Smackdown vs Raw – we will not do any cannibalisation of it at all. The online game is also designed uniquely for Asian playing habits and it would probably have to be modified creatively to bring it to the West.”
Bilson added: “So there’s no plan to bring it here – because what we do have a plan for on that brand is what you saw with All Stars. And next year you’ll see another new extension there in another way – that’s just as exciting as All Stars, but a little different. We’re not talking about that yet.”
Smackdown vs Raw 2011 is scheduled for release later this year, followed by WWE All-Stars in the first half of 2011.
