WWE's annual big bash, WWE SummerSlam, this year taking place in Las Vegas, Nevada, had a showstopper not out in the squared circle, with developer Visual Concepts and 2K Games revealing a new trailer for the forthcoming WWE 2K22, as well as its intended release window.
Sure, Becky Lynch might have blown the roof off Allegiant Stadium in record time, but it was WWE 2K22's roster tease that likely had fans continuing to buzz well and truly after the lights went down. Here's the official word on what's coming in Match, 2022:
During WWE’s SummerSlam 2021 broadcast on August 21, 2K and Visual Concepts revealed WWE® 2K22 is currently scheduled for release in March 2022, capitalizing on the momentum of the “Road to WrestleMania,” when WWE fandom is at a fever pitch.
The reveal was made with an electrifying video package 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. A screenshot of WWE Superstar Edge (pictured) was also shared, showing off incredible detail in his entrance attire, pyrotechnics, and stage lighting.
WWE 2K22 promises new controls, incredible graphics, and a redesigned engine for the most impressive WWE 2K experience to date. As part of the game’s development process, 85% of the in-game roster has taken part in facial scanning for ultra-realistic and updated character models, and more than 3,400 new animations have been captured. More details will be revealed in January 2022.
It's awesome to hear the Aussie will be represented, lead by Rhea Ripley, and have I ever mentioned Sheamus stole my name?
Anyway, check out the reveal trailer embedded below, and stay tuned for more as 2K lets us in on the game's development ahead of release.
