Yukes made the engine, THQ did everything else.

Dead unless Take Two publishes it. It's a finished product as far as I know though.

Ea created the engine for def jam vendetta and fight for ny. the way they handle madden makes folks lose faith in all the other development teams i guess. i think 2k will make a decent game, but look at fight night and look at prizefighter. ea has the wrestling engine, ill even go as far as to say they will have excellent graphics. 2k would most likely have to build from the ground up. the appeal of instant success may sway the wwe if its not too late. im gonna get it either way most likely.

Aki (now known as syn Sophia, Inc.) did the Def Jam Vendetta and Fight for NY engines, not EA. And they are completely out of the wrestling/fighting game business since their name change.

They work well as a duo, would have liked to see them work together again.

The deal is done. And I'm sure WWE took that and many other things under consideration.

Now wrestling fans will know what it's like to have 2K character customization. All the options THQ gave you with the tattoos, hair, and clothes will no doubt become the pitiful "customization" that the NBA 2K has had for the past 5 years!

No joke, in the past 5 years, they have added one new hair style....
