WWE 13 video game release date, current roster and other details

The "Revolution" came and went last night (May 28, 2012) on Monday Night Raw to little fanfare.

It turned out the cryptic promo videos were all about WWE '13, the next installment of World Wrestling Entertainment's (WWE) video game franchise from THQ. They've promised big things, including ditching "The Road to WrestleMania" game mode in favor of bringing back "The Attitude Era."

More features include (via WWE.com):

WWE LIVE - Experience the atmosphere, spectacle and fervor of a WWE live event through attention-grabbing Spectacular Moments, including ring breaks and barricade crashes, along with a brand new audio and presentation system designed to produce the most authentic and vibrant commentary, sound effects and crowd participation levels ever experienced in a WWE videogame.

THE ATTITUDE IS BACK - Return to an unparalleled and groundbreaking era in WWE history - a time of pure raucousness, grandiose personalities and colossal revolution - through a franchise-first single player campaign focused on eight purveyors of attitude during the famed television "Monday Night Wars," including WWE Hall of Famer "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.

WWE UNIVERSE 3.0 - Control the virtual WWE experience like never before in the popular career-style mode, as individual decisions throughout gameplay will dynamically introduce matches, alliances, rivalries and unpredictable moments along the path toward becoming a WWE Champion.

CREATE + SHARE - Utilize the franchise's industry-defining Creation Suite to develop and customize Superstars, entrances, arenas, finishing moves, storylines, highlight reels and more, as well as share and download creations with others from around the world.
