If you are a wrestling fan then you must be waiting for the WWE 2K22 to come next year. Well, the thing is, technically sports games are supposed to be released before the year in their title – like NBA 2K22 will come out in 2021. So, if you have assumed that WWE 2K22 will be coming out sometime before the end of this year, then think again.
During the big SummerSlam event which took place yesterday, instead of the usual Sunday, 2K Sports aired a new trailer for WWE 2K22. And the trailer was awesome in every sense of the feel. Everyone from Roman Reigns to Rey Mysterio, to Bayley had their graphics tuned to look more true-to-life than in the past.
Here’s the trailer is given below:
The trailer looks too good, but, if the mechanics are as bad as the previous instalments then I would like to steer clear of it. Last year, WWE 2K22 producer Patrick Gilmore promised that the Visual Concepts would be studying some of the best wrestling games of the past. When the WWE games were the centre of the sports games genre and names like No Mercy or Smackdown: Here Comes the Pain, were famous. So this time the developer’s team is focusing on six core pillars for the game to stay strong:
- Core Gameplay: making the superstar vs. superstar gameplay the best it’s ever been.
- Emergence: leveraging physics and more generic object/environment systems to enable spectacular gameplay that players feel in control of.
- WWE (WWE Experience): delivering an end-to-end true WWE experience in all aspects of the game, from UI and wrapper to superstars, match types and story modes.
- Online: improving all aspects of the online experience.
- Character: make the best looking superstars of all time.
- Create: Upgrade the creation suite, and make our community creation tools feel like magic to use.
WWE 2K222 hit the squared circle in March of 2022.
