Yes, with E3 set to kick into high gear, THQ has officially detailed Legends, a title that will harken back to the days of neon shirts, mullets, and the classic heel/babyface dynamic. Set in the 1980/1990s, Legends will feature more than 40 grapplers from one of the golden ages of sports entertainment. We don't know a lot of the folks we'll be seeing in the game, but we do know that Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant are in as well as a smattering of valets and managers that play an important role in matches. In related, awesome news Bobby "The Brain" Henan has been confirmed.
Legends aims to recreate the telecasts of the time with "signature ring entrances, renowned commentators, notable venues and much more" and will also implement a brand new combo fighting system that is grapple-based. Taunts, strike attacks, and reversals will also make up the control scheme as Superstars battle in "current and nostalgic match types."
While probably similar-to-SmackDown-but-different modes such as Create-A-Legend (customizable costumes, entrances, and move sets) and online matches are in the game, Legends will also boast WrestleMania Tour. In this gameplay mode, you'll play key matches from WrestleManias gone by -- complete with classic WWE footage to introduce the bout and explain its importance and storyline.
Sadly, that's where the Legends news ends, but be sure to check out the screenshots below and keep an eye out for our E3 look at WWE Legends of WrestleMania this week.
