TNA is in the middle of a revolution, as the company will no longer be known as Impact Wrestling going forward. Due to this, the company has been busy hiring fresh talent as a way to prepare for the future. Now TNA is also open to making a sequel to their first video game from 2008.
Back in 2008, TNA released their first-ever video game on modern consoles as well as previous generations. While it did not exactly set the world on fire, the game’s robust gameplay certainly made for a good time for many fans.
With the advent of AEW: Fight Forever this year, fans have wondered if TNA would make a sequel to their 2008 game as well. While speaking to Real Rasslin.net host WILL, TNA President Scott D’Amore was asked about making a return to the video game space. D’Amore made it clear that the company is open to making a sequel to their first video game from 2008 somewhere down the line.
“Yeah, I mean look I think getting back out there into the action figure and video game space – obviously the video game space is huge in today’s age. One of the things is – and you’ve seen AEW out there – they worked really hard and put a lot of time and effort and money into a game; we want to get back into that space when the time is right – I don’t think putting out a bad video game or a marginal video game is the right move. I think it’s a shame that there’s never been a follow-up to the TNA video game, and it is one of the projects that we really want to work on in the future…so is it coming in 2024? No. It is something that’s on our radar that we would love to do? Absolutely. Business-wise I think it would be great for us and I know that our fans really want it too. I grew up one of the first generations to play video games, to play those wrestling video games. I would be scared to look at how many hours I spent playing those, so I think it’s important and it’s a project we’ll be working on as time progresses.”
We will have to wait and see when TNA will end up making their second video game, as it is likely it will get a better reception than the first one. Till then, all fans can do is simply play the waiting game.
