Midway has really been hit by some hard times during this downward summit of the economy, it’s about $240 million in debt. And it’s changing ownership giving the publisher’s debtors a chance to call in their loans. But if the publisher can endure this beating, it may find a “hot tag” waiting for it on the other side.

A Midway representative has confirmed to GameSpot that the publisher’s 2009 slate includes not only Vin Diesel, but there is also plans for a second installment to the TNA Impact franchise. However, he did not address platforms or features for the game.

The first game was originally planned for a 2007 release but it had folded into Midway’s San Diego operations towards the end of the development cycle.

However, the first game was promised to be better then THQ’s Smackdown vs Raw series, but sadly the game couldn’t overcome it because of its almost super repetitive game-play. Anyway, speaking on it, let’s hope that this game will be better then the first. Hope to see some game-play soon.
