King of the Ring Tournament Returns In WWE '13



Another feature making its comeback in WWE '13 is the King of the Ring tournament. Although WWE itself has not held a King of the Ring tournament for the past few years, it's always been popular with the fans. This is the main reason why THQ decided to bring it back for WWE '13.

Check out what Bryan Williams posted about King of the Ring: 


  • Create your very own King of the Ring tournament! Players can choose the number of participants (4, 8 or 16) as well as the gender of the participants involved (that right, Divas can also take part in the King of the Ring tournament).
  • Players can also choose the type of match that they’d like for their tournament (Normal, Backstage Brawl, Hell in a Cell, Iron Man, Ladder, Last Man Standing, Steel Cage, Submission, Table, TLC and Extreme Rules).
  • Participants in the tournament can be chosen at random or selected by the player.
  • Each match in the tournament can be played or simulated.
  • The King of the Ring tournament can be played solo or with a friend.
  • A special coronation cut-scene is shown for the winner of the tournament.

I Quit Match Details And Screenshots In WWE '13



THQ has confirmed on the official WWEGames' official website that the "I Quit" match will be making its comebacks in WWE '13. The reason the match type is making a comeback is due to overwhelming popular demand. WWE '13 Game Designer Bryan Williams posted more information on it and what you need to know.


I Quit Match:
  • The I Quit Match is finally making its long awaited return! The match type has been completely redesigned from top to bottom to provide players with the most authentic representation of the I Quit Match ever seen in video game form.
  • In keeping with WWE programming, the I Quit Match is a 1-On-1, no holds barred, anything goes affair. Utilize anything and everything within the in-ring environment to force your opponent to say the humiliating words, "I Quit!" 
  • When your opponent is in a grounded state, press the pin button to summon the referee to the grounded opponent. The referee will kneel down and place a microphone in front of their face. It’s at this point that the I Quit mini-game is triggered. Stop the moving cursor within the designated target zone before the words “I Quit” fully materialize on screen to inform the referee of your desire to continue the match. If the opponent is unable to complete the mini-game in time, they’ll automatically quit the match. If a Superstar is in possession of a stored finisher icon they can use it to automatically win the mini-game and continue the match. However, doing so will result in the loss of that finisher icon.
  • When an opponent is in the midst of performing the I Quit mini-game, the attacking Superstar can utilize anIntimidation taunt to increase the difficulty of the mini-game. Performing an Intimidation taunt will cause the mini-game meter to shake violently, which makes it that much harder for the defender to complete the mini-game in time. Use of Intimidation results in a loss of momentum for the attacker so think twice before using it. If the attacker doesn’t have a sufficient amount of momentum within their meter the Intimidation taunt can’t be used.
  • The I Quit mini-game can also be triggered by applying a Breaking Point submission hold on an opponent. Just like grounded situations, the referee will position themselves near the trapped defender and position the microphone in front of their face. Complete the mini-game successfully to break out of the submission hold and continue the match. Failure to break out in time will result in a loss.

42,000 Copies Of WWE '13 Austin 3:16 Edition To Be Shipped


When the "Austin 3:16" edition of WWE '13 was announced a few months ago, THQ emphasised the fact that it was a limited release and that it as likely to sell out if you did not pre-order. We now have an idea that around 42,000 copies of the game have been made thank to Stone Cold Steve Austin.

This is because each copy of the "Austin 3:16" edition is shipped with a video game card signed by Stone Cold Steve Austin himself. A tweet from the man himself reveals how many of the cards he has had to sign before the game is shipped to customers from October 30th.

Stone Cold tweeted:

"7,000 signatures left to complete #THQ video game inserts. After signing Stone Cold Steve Austin 35,000 times, I'll just shorten it to SCSA."

If you don't want to miss out on this special edition of WWE '13, I suggest you pre-order the game from THQ Store (in the USA) or your participating games retailer right now.
