Legends of Wrestling 4 confirmed!
Wed Sep 12, 2007 7:05 am
The Legends of Wrestling franchise was originally developed by Acclaim following the end of ECW which in effect lead to the end of ECW games. During the Acclaim years the franchise consisted of three games, the original Legends of Wrestling, Legends of Wrestling II and Showdown: Legends of Wrestling.
Acclaim filed for bankruptcy protection in 2004. On July 7th 2006, Throwback Entertainment announced that it had acquired over 150 Acclaim-published titles and vowed to bring some into the next-generation. Of these titles the Legends of Wrestling franchise was included.
Throwback is a Toronto based company founded in 2004. Throwback is a full service publisher of Interactive Entertainment Products and now has the Acclaim Legends of Wrestling License in their corner.
Today Throwback public relations confirmed there will indeed be another installment in the Legends of Wrestling series. Tightlipped on details, pending a formal press release, Throwback wouldn't go much further than to say Legends of Wrestling 4 or the next installment of the franchise will be a reality.
This means big things for the wrestling games world. Not only will we have another wrestling game to enjoy, but we will add more competition to the market place in tern bringing us wrestling gamers the best games possible.
Rest assured as soon as Throwback is ready to get the word out WrestlingGamers.com will be your number one source for your Legends of Wrestling needs. Check back often for our continued coverage!

This is great news.... hopefully they get aki, spike, or 2k to make the game!

2k? I don't recall them ever making a wrestling game. Aki doesn't exist anymore - well they've got a new name - but they don't seem to make any wrestling games that anyone has heard of anymore.
If Spike made another game I would fly to Japan to get it.

I haven't played an Acclaim wrestling game since their final WWF effort (WWF Attitude back in 1999), which wasn't all that impressive. How does the Legends of Wrestling series fare against THQ's Smackdown series?
