For several weeks the WWE has been teasing a “revolution,” and they’ve finally revealed what form this revolution will take… a new video game! The first ever trailer for WWE 13 has just been leaked, and much to the delight of many hardcore wrestling fans, the current WWE Champion CM Punk will be the poster boy for the title. The trailer is a blend of a live action promo and actual WWE 13 gameplay, but it’s more than enough to get gamers excited for what’s coming later this year.
The gameplay gives away more than initially meets the eye. The most blatantly obvious addition is the ability to break the ring with a suplex from the top rope. We’d suspect that it may be a special feature that only occurs with heavyweights, but that’s just logical speculation. There’s plenty of other news that can be derived from the teaser, such as the confirmation of a few members of the new roster.
Current WWE Superstars such as CM Punk, Chris Jericho, Big Show, Mark Henry, and Sheamus all appear in the leaked video, much as wrestling fans would expect. Fortunately, legends of the squared-circle (Mankind, Stone Cold, and The Undertaker) also make an appearance in the video, peaking the interest of anyone who loved the “Attitude Era.” It would appear that the team at Yuke’s is working hard to pack the game with plenty of old school wrestling things too, as Austin can be seen tackling Foley through a retro barricade.
The best part of the trailer, however, comes at the very end, when a November 1st release date is touted. Once THQ releases some more details on WWE 13, we’ll have a better idea of what this “revolution” that the premature teaser promotes so thoroughly actually is . The game is currently set to appear on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii – although plans for a currently unannounced Wii U version may still be in the books.
We’d suspect that the video will be removed shortly, and if that does happen then we’ll update this article with a working video as soon as possible. In the meantime, enjoy.

There weren’t any new features shown at all. I was just thinking how it looks exactly like the last game.
Also, the breaking the ring thing is obviously just a Story Designer cutscene.
Dude they r doing away with that this year so it might be the story mode
When will they get a new graphics engine…
Love the THQ WWE Games,Always had fun in GM Mode and Universe Mode.
Looks like it will be Attitude Era Themed.
Looks like you can get into the crowd.
CM Punk is the poster Boy.
Some Animations look different
The Ring break Was NOT a Cutscene,You can tell because the camera is panned in the exact way it was in WWE12 to do a Top rope move.
It seems like the Ring Break Will only be for Two Heavy Wrestlers.
Looks Good.
Might check this one out.
We wants the HCTP Austin
hope the breaking the ring part is not a story moe hope they bring the stroy mode back like it was here comes the pain and shut your mouth combined and if you creat a superstar you can put it in story and finally make a name for yourself like ryback
Look kool buttt…holy crappy graphics lol, what’s wrong with these? They looks like plastic characters…they REALLY need to overhaul the graphics, SvR 2007 on PS2 looks better than this. Some stuff they showed were really nice, but damn those graphics sux. :S
i agree i definitely think it’s time for a new engine it seems like they hardly try sometimes. i love wrestling games but this is getting COD Stale.
Hey there it is me your biggest fan of wwe wrestling of all time can you make it for playstation 3 that is what i got. Can you kiss the girl when she call your name on the mic when you get in the ring. Will you put spotlights on to for the superstars. I got a news breaking about the game i can make the matches like a steal cage match hell in a cell and a ladder and nothing goes with no dq in the match. I can make a texas bull rope match. Backstage brawls. A hospital match on a strencher and beat the person up. Will you put The MIZ in it he is Rachel ann stankiewicz’s boyfriend. Can you put like owen hart in the lengends to he is a great wrestler and a superhero.
Your right about that to.
I wish they would go bacc like the old smackdown. Better button controls, two player stories, walk freely backstage, and two button reverses instead of just tapping one button all game.
Hey there it is me again. Can you put my favorite person in the game to her name is Torrie Wilson she is one good looking chick. And would you please put Maria in the game also. I love her song. When they come in and get the prize like a wwe or wwe world title can you make the Divas kii the refrees and the boys in the back stage in a private area. Can you move the superstars by the computer or do we move them by the control. Can you make a larger rope in the ring to bring the superstars to the way to the top and fall down on the superstars in the ring.
