The WWE 2K game series has been a staple in the wrestling community for years now, but last year 2K decided not to add another installment to the franchise and instead released WWE 2K Battlegrounds instead.
However, the series will return this year with WWE 2K22 and it sounds like the development of the game is going well. Forbes writer Brian Mazique recently posted a video claiming that he’s spoken with people close to the game who have said that the gameplay engine has been “completely rebuilt.”
“I have actually spoken with people who have good knowledge of the game and understand what’s happening from a developmental standpoint, and what I’m told about gameplay at this point is that it is fantastic. That is actually the word that was used for the latest build. The people who were playing the latest build have said the gameplay is fantastic.
“Anybody who is talking about gameplay at this point is probably somewhat close to 2K, so you’ve got to take it with a grain of salt, but I have been told that the game is playing fantastic and that the gameplay engine is completely rebuilt. I also heard that the controls are much cleaner than they have been before. Now, what cleaner means, I don’t know, but the last thing that I heard about this […] is that this feels like a wrestling fan’s wrestling game.”
WWE 2K20 was heavily criticized due to the game’s technical issues so it will be interesting to see how things play out for WWE 2K22. Stay tuned for updates.
