Midway Games will be holding a major media launch this weekend at TNA’s Bound for Glory PPV in anticipation for the new “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.

Gamers will be able to choose the look of their character as well as their managers who will specialize in different fighting styles.
