Midway Games will be holding a major media launch this weekend at TNA’s Bound for Glory PPV in anticipation for the new â€�"TNA Impact: The Video Game” . This will be the first professional wrestling video game outside of WWE associated with a major wrestling promotion since WCW shutdown in 2001. The game will be released for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, and Playstation 2 all in May.

TNA stars Samoa Joe and AJ Styles have spent a good amount of time with Midway producers, fine tuning all of the details in the game. Here is what has been confirmed for the game:

- A story mode will be included into the game that is said to be similar to WWE video games. Story mode will allow players to create and choose a career path based on decisions that they take during the storyline. Gamers will be able to choose the look of their character as well as their managers who will specialize in different fighting styles.
