WWE 13 coming October 30

It was first unveiled on Monday's edition of WWE Raw, but now THQ has confirmed WWE '13 is coming out in October with CM Punk on the cover.

It is always entertaining to see pompous WWE exec John Laurinaitis get upstaged. On Monday, he faked the cover of the upcoming WWE '13 with his mug on it, only to have CM Punk come out and reveal that he was actually the new cover wrestler for the next installment of THQ's perennial wrestling title. This year's iteration takes players back to the Stone Cold Steve Austin Attitude Era for the single-player campaign, while still retaining most of the current roster of WWE Superstars, including Sheamus, Undertaker, Mark Henry and Big Show.

Punk on the cover

"WWE '13 is certain to ignite our enthusiastic, worldwide fan base and encourage them to live a revolution that simply cannot be ignored," Sean Ratcliffe, THQ's VP of Global Brand Management, said in the release. Many of the features that fans of the series have come to expect will return, including customization of wrestlers, entrances and finishing moves. The game is in development for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii and is scheduled for release on Oct. 30.

        Was this the N64 wrestling game? If so, it was no doubt one of the best multiplayer games in that generation

        Easily the best because of how easy the controls were to use. Each button did one thing if you just pressed it, and another if you held it down. Timing on things was easy to get used to, but at the same time it was a game that you had to learn the controls and know when you could do certain moves.

        I've tried playing the newer games and the controls were just overly complex.

        I think they are going to continue the All-Stars brand too... I'm not sure it's going to be a yearly iteration though.
