THQ have recently announced via a press-release the development of the newest installment of the annual WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW franchise.

"We are tremendously excited about the next groundbreaking release in the billion dollar WWE SmackDown vs. Raw videogame franchise," said Nelo Lucich, vice president of interactive, JAKKS Pacific. "Downloadable content, innovative experiences with tag teams and a new Create-A-Finisher feature, along with significant annual improvements across all platforms, combine to bring the sports entertainment experience to new heights and gratify our long-time fans, casual gamers and franchise newcomers alike."

WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2009 upholds the franchise's commitment to delivering the definitive videogame simulation of live WWE programming. The XBOX 360, PlayStation 3 system, PlayStation 2 system and PSP system versions of the game will unleash a brand new tag-team experience, allowing players to build momentum and attributes, eliminate opponents with high impact double teams and finishers, as well as get the "hot tag" for the win. The franchise's renowned creation system offers a brand new Create-A-Finisher option, while a new Road to WrestleMania mode paves the way to WWE's biggest event of the year and lets players experience co-op storylines for the first time. WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2009 also extends the virtual WWE gameplay experience with robust online capabilities, including the highly-anticipated debut of downloadable content.

WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2009 is currently under development for the XBOX 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Wii, PSP and Nintendo DS, slated for a release later during the year.
