Hulk Hogan

Ferrari licence is obviously not enough for the ever growing Gameloft. They want more and their shareholders expect more. Hence they’ve announced that they’ve secured a licensing agreement with wrestling superstar Hulk Hogan to bring “one of wrestling’s most popular personalities to mobile gaming.”

Backed by the iconic power of Hulk Hogan himself and featuring a 3D isometric view that provides total immersion into the ring, Hulkamania Wrestling gives fans a realistic wrestling beat-down, complete with eccentric wrestlers, jabs and humorous dialogue. With an amazing number of no-holds-barred moves, players can take down their opponents with bone crushing efficiency through the use of such classics as the Strong Clothesline, Spinbuster, Pedigree, Doublehand Choke Lift and more.

Commenting on the announcement, Hulk Hogan said: “Hulkamania is alive and well and I’m excited to give my fans a mobile game that is true to my experiences in wrestling. I’m confident that Gameloft will inject their signature style to produce the ultimate wrestling game for all my fans to enjoy on the go.” Now, I wonder what happens if Gameloft fails. ;)

As for the release date, Gameloft said Hogan fans should look forward to August this year when Hulkamania Wrestling will hit the small screens around the world.
