IWE '13 is an upcoming professional wrestling video game being developed by Yuke's and published by THQ on October 30, 2012 for the PlayStation 3, Wii and the Xbox 360. It will be the second game in the IWE series and the fifteenth overall in the combined series. It is the sequel to IWE '12 and will be released on October 30, 2012.
Development
In February 2012, IWE road agent Road Dogg confirmed that he will be featured in the game with former tag partner, Billy Morgan. Former IWE superstar X-Pac announced on his Twitter account that he wanted to be in the game, where he later confirmed he had been approached by THQ themselves.
In March, WWE '13 was officially confirmed to be in development. That same month, it was also confirmed that Jim Ross would be on commentary for the game alongside Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole.
At the 2012 Superstar WrestleMania Challenge, Kory Ledesma, the Creative Director for IWE Games at THQ, confirmed that Road To WrestleMania mode would be replaced for Story Mode, that six Divas will be able to compete in the ring at a time and that backstage brawls will be less prevalent in Story Mode than the previous year's release.
In April, Ledesma reconfirmed the previous announcement, as well as confirming that the PS3 version of the game will feature 64 layers in Create-A-Superstar mode after holding a contest to fans.
On May 29th 2012 a trailer for the game was released featuring Justin Eldridge and small segments of footage from the game including the ability for players to replicate the infamous moment on SmackDown! when Rob Lesnar superplexed the Big Show off the turnbuckle and causing the ring to collapse.
