WWE 2K22 Release Window and New Gameplay Revealed During WWE SummerSlam 2021

Alongside a brand new look at gameplay, it has officially been revealed that WWE 2K22 will be released in March 2022.

Revealed during SummerSlam 2021, the new WWE 2K22 footage shows off a ton of different wrestlers in action like Roman Reigns, Finn Balor, Bobby Lashley, and Drew McIntyre. In an accompanying tweet, 2K promises new controls, stunning graphics, and a redesigned engine for this new game.

While there was no specific release date given, it was promised that fans would get more info on the game in January 2022. To help with the wait, @WWEGames revealed a couple of screenshots of Edge in-engine.

WWE 2K22 was announced at Wrestlemania 37 and will be 2K's first WWE simulation wrestling game since the poorly received WWE 2K20.

In our review of WWE 2K20, we said, "WWE 2K19 looked like it stopped the downward trend for the series, but WWE 2K20 doubles back, breaks its ankle, and tumbles down the slope."

2K announced the WWE 2K series would be taking a break in order to allow the team to deliver a game that is worthy of the WWE name.

To help with the lack of a WWE 2K game, 2K did release WWE 2K Battlegrounds, which we said "works as a shallow party game you play for an hour, then move on to something else, and that's it."
