The game is being developed by The Tap Lab, based in Cambridge, MA, and is projected for launch later this year. This partnership unites two celebrated global brands, adding an exciting new element to SEGA\u2019s diverse catalog of mobile games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt SEGA, we like to find new ways to bring brands and experiences to a wide mobile gaming audience,\u201d said Naoki Kameda, COO of SEGA\u2019s mobile division in the West. \u201cThis partnership with WWE presents a fresh opportunity for collaboration. Working with WWE, a monumental leader in global entertainment, along with The Tap Lab, a studio known for crafting action-packed games that are fun at their core, we\u2019re confident that WWE Tap Mania will delight WWE fans worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are always looking to engage our global fan base in new and exciting ways,\u201d said Casey Collins, WWE Executive Vice President, Consumer Products. \u201cPartnering with industry leader SEGA is a great opportunity for us to continue our mobile game strategy while bringing in new fans with WWE Tap Mania.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the time of worldwide launch, WWE Tap Mania will be released on the App Store for iPhone and iPad and on the Google Play store for Android, and will be free to download with in-app purchases available. The game will feature a broad roster of past and present WWE Superstars who will face off alongside players to dominate leaderboards during live in-game events including WrestleMania, SummerSlam and Royal Rumble.<\/p>\n<p>To stay up-to-date for news on WWE Tap Mania, follow SEGA on Twitter and Facebook.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> If this were the Attitude Era, would the game be called WWE Tap That Ass Mania?
