In contrast to the more simulation based WWE SmackDown vs. Raw series, WWE All Stars features arcade-style gameplay along with over-the-top animation and wrestlers bearing a more exaggerated look. The game is expected to be a combination of a fighting game and a wrestling game, with combos playing a major factor in gameplay, both on the ground and mid-air. Some gameplay videos show the wrestlers doing exaggerated moves, such as John Cena's Attitude Adjustment, in which he dives high into the air. The game will feature present and past WWE wrestlers, as well as commentary from Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler.

The first official announcement for both WWE All Stars and WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011 was made at E3 in June 2010 by THQ.

WWE All Stars is the first WWE game to be produced by the THQ San Diego team. Many of the team's employees had worked Midway San Diego, the studio that developed the first TNA Impact! professional wrestling video game. It is the second WWE game Sal Divita has produced, the first being WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game.
