The Def Jam series is one of EA’s most unlikely success stories. The wrestling game series, which contained titles like Def Jam Vendetta and Def Jam: Fight for NY, initially saw the developers EA Canada and AKI Corporation band together to combine the worlds of hip-hop and pro wrestling and breathe fresh life into the wrestling genre (which was being dominated at the time by THQ’s WWE-licensed products) before development was shifted over to EA Chicago for the last game in the series — 2007’s Def Jam: Icon.
