The world of WWE is an interesting one. Filled with dramatic storylines, cool characters and hard-hitting action, one could argue that It's like watching a live comic book in motion. So what better company could make that crazy world better than the creators of "Mortal Kombat" and "Injustice: Gods Among Us," developer NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros? These two companies have partnered up for "WWE: Immortals" and is set to come out sometime next year on Apple and Android devices according to Joystiq.

Instead of a straight-up wrestling simulator, "WWE: Immortals" looks like a game that is in line with NetherRealm's popular mobile fighting game "Injustice: Gods Among Us, reports PWInsider. The game is set to feature epic superstar battles in a fantastically re-imagined WWE world. As of right now, there are no details of the gameplay or how much re-imagining was made towards this new WWE world. But given what NetherRealms has done with DC's bright and brightly-clad superheroes, expect some measure of extreme violence and over the top action, with possibly smooth .

While it might seem strange for the WWE to agree on a non-wrestling game featuring its superstars, this isn't the first time it has happened. WWE released two free mobile games last year: an action game called "Rockpocalypse" featuring Hollywood star and eight time WWE Champion Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and a racing game called "John Cena's Fast Lane." Both games were received poorly, howevr, with Gamezebo criticizing the repetitive action and repeated soundbytes of "Rockpocalypse" and TouchTapPlay pointing out the lack of car control for "John Cena's Fast Lane."

Their frequent collaborators 2K also released a card collecting game for tablets and mobile devices called "WWE Supercard," which was a mild success with fans. WWE.com reported that it was downloaded 1.5 million times in its first week and has stressed that the game will continue to get updates and roster expansions.

Of course, there are concerns about "WWE: Immortals" being a freemium game. Most freemium games amp up the difficulty levels to a point that the player has to either grind for experience or eventually pay up for bonuses as evidenced by this South Park clip. Toucharcade remains positive though as NetherRealms was responsible for "Injustice: Gods Among Us" for mobile and is one of the few freemium games you can play without having to actually spend. Hopefully "WWE: Immortals" follows a similar trend.
