Developed by Iguana Salt Lake City, creators of WWF War Zone, Acclaim has captured all of the excitement and high energy entertainment of the World Wrestling Federation.

One of the most original and creative features in WWF Attitude is the first ever "Create-A-Pay-Per-View" mode. This new gameplay mode allows gamers to select Match-ups, Title vs. Non-Title Bouts, Specialty Matches, and authentic WWF special events. Essentially, gamers will be able to create from scratch an actual WWF Pay-Per-View event, from choosing the participants and the type of matches, down to the name of the event and the arena where it all takes place. This unprecedented level of control is a first in videogames and just one of the innovative features that will help make WWF Attitude the greatest wrestling videogame ever created.

WWF Attitude will also feature new specialty matches including the LumberJack, King of the Ring, and Survivor Series and all-new Match options including First Blood, I Quit, 2 out of 3 falls, Iron Man, Tornado, Last Man Standing, Weapons, and more. Other features include new arena environments, authentic superstar entrances featuring individual pyrotechnics and theme music, expanded Create-A-Wrestler with more options, action in the aisles, photo-realistic wrestlers with real-life faces and 3-D environments, and over 400 moves for each superstar including trademark finishing moves.

WWF Attitude will be supported by a multimillion dollar national TV, radio, on-line and in-store marketing campaign.

Acclaim's World Wrestling Federation license will not be renewed after its expiration on November 15, 1999. The proprietary game engine will be utilized for a wrestling title in 2000 and additional wrestling games to be announced.
