WWE 2K22 - What’s New?

The newest edition of the most popular wrestling game of all time is on it’s way to your consoles, PCs and devices! WWE 2K22 is expected to be a much improved game on recent titles, with the much maligned WWE 2K20 in the rear mirror, and the cancelled 2K21 title glossed over!

The expected release date is this month (11th March 2022) which is a change to the usual release schedule. Usually titles can be expected around October time. In addition to this, there are new dynamic controls, entrancing animations, better player, crowd and arena focused graphics as well as a completely rehashed gameplay engine. All of this can be enjoyed over PS5, Xboxes, PS4 and on the PC.
