Nokia, THQ Wireless and JAKKS Pacific today announced that they are working hard with the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) to release WWE Aftershock, the N-Gage's latest game in development. The game will feature all the normal ingredients found in a wrestling title - quick exhibition matches, survival modes, tournaments and Main Event matches. Multiplayer action will also be provided thanks to the N-Gage's Bluetooth function.

 "The WWE is one of the strongest and most well-known brands in entertainment today," reckons Pasi Polonen, Director of Games Publishing, Nokia. "We are thrilled to offer a WWE title to N-Gage users – it's like winning the World Heavyweight Championship belt!"

"The N-Gage platform provides gamers with a whole new attitude towards gaming – throw it in your pocket and go," said Tim Walsh, President of THQ Wireless. "Its unique combination of gaming and phone features make the N-Gage as original as the WWE and a natural partner for us."

 WWE Aftershock offers all the pageantry and flamboyance of today's top WWE Superstars. Set in a real-time 3D environment, WWE Aftershock uses various camera angles for an eye-popping visual experience. Each WWE Superstars' persona is captured in the same over-the-top presentation that makes the WWE the ultimate in live entertainment.

 WWE Aftershock is expected to hit UK retail shelves in Q4 2004. RP
