Following the recent news that publisher SouthPeak Interactive acquired the assets from Midway for TNA Wrestling games, the company today announced the first project to come from the acquisition. SouthPeak will publish TNA iMPACT!: Cross the Line this winter for both PSP and DS. The game features a standard TNA six-sided ring, with old and new wrestlers and wireless head-to-head play.
“Their unique take on professional wrestling has captivated a continually growing fan base of millions of people across the world,” said Richard Iggo, VP of Marketing for SouthPeak. “We look forward to giving those fans the opportunity to go head to head with all their favorite TNA superstars on the go, on either the PSP system or Nintendo DS.”
“We are very excited to partner with SouthPeak to release these games for the handheld systems,” said Steve Allison, Chief Marketing Officer for TNA Entertainment. “They have a great team that instantly impressed us with their passion and determination to work with us on these titles.”
SouthPeak has been steadily improving its bottom line. In the last quarter ended September 30, the publisher doubled its sales and posted net income of $687,000 compared to a sizable loss of $2.7 million during the same quarter a year earlier.
