WWE 2K22, the awaited wrestling game is set to launch next
year on March 22. The game was previously announced at WrestleMania 37 in April
and was set to launch in this calendar year. Unfortunately that will not be
happening, as suggested by the new March reveal. However, we do have a trailer
for the title now. The new trailer debuted during WWE SummerSlam broadcast and
a full reveal for the same is expected
to come in January 2022. The reveal features a compilation of WWE 2K22 gameplay
featuring WWE superstar Rey Mysterio, as well as a first glance at Roman Reigns,
Goldberg, Bayley, Bobby Lashley, Drew McIntyre, The Miz, Sheamus, Shinsuke
Nakamura, Rhea Ripley, Finn Bálor, Ricochet and Kane.
WWE 2K22 is being developed by Visual Concepts and 2K, a
wholly owned publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. 2K notes
that WWE 2K22 will feature a redesigned engine, along with new controls, and
graphics, It also claims that 85% of the in-game roster has taken part in
facial scanning in order to ensure high-quality in-game models. It further adds
that 3,400 new animations have been captured.
WWE 2K22 will be of particular importance to 2K. The last mainline
release, WWE 2K20 was extremely poorly received upon launch. The game was
pretty much broken with numerous bugs and glitches. Even the graphics were met
with derision. As such, 2K decided to pause its plan of yearly releases.
Hopefully, 2K and Visual Concepts have used this time to fine-tune the game and
create a WWE experience that fans want. With the full reveal scheduled still a
few months away, there is still time for the developers to make changes and
polish things up.
