New WWE Mobile Game in Development by Glu Mobile Inc.

In the world of gaming, nothing ever stays the same for too long. Whether it is a mod, upgrade, expansion or new title, something will come of it. WWE have for many years been involved in the video game industry, expanding to the mobile market in the past few.

According to WrestlingInc, today Glu Mobile Inc. announced that it has an intention on making a WWE based mobile game to add to their library of pre-existing sports and pop culture based games.

The following video is an example of what the company creating the game is capable of, as this is a recent release from them. This doesn’t mean the WWE game, which is expected to be released in 2018 will be similar by any means, but it does give an example of the quality fans should expect.

Editor’s Note:

I can’t wait for this to come out, assuming everything goes to plan. It seems like an amazing opportunity for a new, inventive wrestling game. Maybe it is like GM Mode?
