WWE Legends of WrestleMania will be a video game based on legends and alumni of the professional wrestling promotion, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), who have appeared at WrestleMania in the 1980s and 1990s. It will be released in March 2009 to coincide with WrestleMania XXV. The game is being developed by YUKE's Future Media Creators and will be published by THQ, the same developer and publisher for the WWE SmackDown video game series.

Production of the video game was announced in May 2008 by THQ, respectively for the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 video game consoles. A trailer for the game was released the following month at E3, featuring a recreation of the Hulk Hogan versus André the Giant main event at WrestleMania III.

Gameplay

A recreation of the main event at WrestleMania III featuring André the Giant (left) and Hulk Hogan (right).

The game promotes a new combo fighting system that is grapple-based. Unlike the SmackDown series, Legends of WrestleMania is focused more on arcade-style gameplay (similar to WWF Wrestlefest) with only the D-pad (or left analog stick) and the four face buttons needed on the gamepad. During play, the player's HUD will feature a health bar and a number between one and three. After successful chains of attacks, the number will increase with more devastating moves now available. After completing the third level of moves, the wrestler's finishing move can then be performed. Continuous chains of moves are performed by pressing a button allocated by the screen before the player's opponent can. If the opponent beats the player at this, then the move is blocked and the chain is broken.

Managers and valets will play a significant part of the game, and will interfere on behalf of their clients. Features similar to the SmackDown series such as create-a-legend mode and online gameplay will also be featured in the game. It has been noted that each move in the game will have a brand new animation and are not recycled from moves featured in the SmackDown series. A new mode featured is the WrestleMania Tour where classic WrestleMania matches can be recreated with classic WWE footage included to introduce the bout. The game will include a feature to import characters from WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009.

WWE commentator Jim Ross, a long-time advocate for a WWE legends video game, has mentioned on his personal blog that he has recorded voice-overs for the game.
