>I'm pleased to officially announce that the newest game in the TEW franchise, Total Extreme Wrestling IX, will be released by Grey Dog Software in just a few weeks. Additionally, the ever-popular developer's journal will begin today in order to reveal what new features and changes you can expect.
Q Why is it called TEW IX and not TEW2024?
>A We've decided to make this change to the naming scheme because having a year in the title is generally used to denote an annual release. As there are several years between modern TEW releases, we felt a switch to numbers would be more appropriate going forward.
Q What will the licensing situation be?
>A The game will be under the QLM license system that Grey Dog Software has been using for the past couple of years. As those who have used it will know, this is a much easier to use and more convenient system than the old Elicense system that was used in the past.
Q What new features and changes will there be?
>A The Developer's Journal starts today and will be used to reveal new features and changes. There will be at least one entry every weekday between now and the game's release. As usual, a lot of the changes come directly from posts that people have made in the Suggestions forum over the past four years.
Q Is this an entirely new game?
>A TEW IX uses the same base as TEW2020, so you'll recognize the general layout and concepts - this is because there's no sense in "reinventing the wheel" when we already have a very popular, stable basis to work off. The new features and changes are applied on top of that foundation to enhance and expand the game.
Q Will there be a Mac version?
>A No. Grey Dog Software only produces Windows-based games.
Q What times will the release be?
>A To avoid a large spike in traffic and the problems that causes, we will not be announcing an exact time for release. It will, however, be handled by Grey Dog Software and so be on US time.
