Midway Games will be holding a major media launch previewing "TNA Impact: The Video Game" this weekend as part of TNA's Bound for Glory PPV weekend. The game will be the first professional wrestling video game associated with a national wrestling company other than WWE since ECW and WCW shut down in 2001 and Acclaim, which produced The Legends of Wrestling series (which were actually designed to be ECW games and then re-tooled) filed for bankruptcy.
The Midway TNA Impact game will be released this coming May for video game platforms PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, and PlayStation 2 and is expected to be the first in a series of TNA-related games. TNA stars AJ Styles and Samoa Joe spent a lot of time dealing with Midway on various details of the debut TNA game.
