US, May 6, 2009 - In its quarterly earnings call with investors on Wednesday, THQ execs let slip that the company is working on a new title called WWE Online.

The game is being developed in Asia, but beyond that we know absolutely nothing. Will it be a cross-platform MMO? A free-to-play PC game? A web-based browser game? An immersive holographic virtual reality 3D experience? We said we don't know, so stop with all the questions already.

THQ's wrestling games are some of its core moneymakers, so it's no surprise that the publisher is working on ways to expand its market. Although the WWE games remain popular, net sales for the series were down 25 percent last quarter over the same period last year.

This game sounds exactly like Smackdown vs Raw Online, which was announced several months ago. That game is also being released for Windows exclusively in Asia, so I'm guessing IGN got confused or something.

Because it makes no sense to release two games in the same region named Smackdown vs Raw Online and WWE Online at the same time.

If this is true, I hope they use a different engine.
