2K Games have finally announced the WWE game and have also talked about the future of its popular WWE series. Saber Interactive, known for titles such as NBA 2K Playgrounds and World War Z, is developing WWE 2K Battlegrounds, which will be released in the autumn season this year.
The official website of the company has announced the new WWE title and stated the following: “We’re thrilled to introduce you to WWE 2K Battlegrounds, a completely new WWE gaming experience that will feature arcade-style action and over-the-top Superstar designs, environments and moves. We’re focusing on social pick-up-and-play fun, but with plenty of depth for those who want to get way into it.”
So, according to the first teaser trailer, WWE 2K Battlegrounds will feature cartoon-style characters with surreal movements and environments. Soon we will have more information about the game, but for now, you can already have a look at the first trailer of the game published at the bottom of this news. Additionally, 2K Games have talked about the future of its WW2 2K series, whose release this year, WWE 2K21, has been canceled.
The publisher has also said that it will not be presenting a WWE game this year to “ensure the development team at Visual Concepts can create a great game that will entertain grizzled WWE 2K veterans, as well as newcomers who want to climb through the ropes and step into the ring for the very first time.”
WWE 2K20 was the first game developed mostly by Visual Concepts, which had a very bad reception from critics because of too many bugs in the title. In this way, 2K Games and Visual Concepts guarantee more time to develop a new game and hope to achieve a higher quality than they had in the most recent game.
