"You're going to see things earlier than you have before, with more behind-the-scenes than we’ve shown in the past. "We want to try out new ideas and bring everyone along for the journey." The tagline for WWE 2K22 is: 'It hits different.’ “That doesn’t just apply to the game itself but the way we market it and communicate with the press, content creators, and our community,” says 2K global communications manager Al Stavola. Head there if you’re looking for a brawler featuring a host of past WWE stars, such as Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, Dean Ambrose, and Chris Jericho.

There’s also a WWE 2K20 feedback project on the official 2K forums (opens in new tab), which the company said directly influenced WWE 2K22.Īs for Yuke’s, they’ve moved on to a new wrestling sim: the highly anticipated first AEW video game (opens in new tab). At least seven of the dev team also post on Reddit’s WWE Games (opens in new tab) forum – if you’re looking to interact, this introductory post (opens in new tab) is a great starting point. Australian dev Patrick Gilmore, once the kingpin of EA’s beloved Medal Of Honor series, is on board as executive producer, and was active on Twitter (opens in new tab) during the summer of 2020, seeking fan ideas. Visual Concepts is still maintaining control of the WWE series, although with a new face at its helm.

Yuke’s had helmed the series since its PS1 inception as WWF Smackdown back in the year 2000. It meant that in-house studio Visual Concepts was left to finish a part-developed title on its own. With a community option, will we be able to play out fantasy fights such as Omega vs Rollins? I hope so.The controversial decision to cut ties with long-time developer Yuke’s is cited as one of the key reasons for WWE 2K20’s failure. Characters looked diverse in terms of appearance and body type meaning that players will most likely be able to create whoever they want. At a glance, 2K22’s creations look impressive. Whether fans want to create themselves, wrestlers from rival companies like AEW or legends from the past, a good creation suite adds longevity to the game and is vital. The ability to create a wrestler is so important. This seeming allows gamers to create their own team and face legendary factions such as DX and the NWO! CAW Finally, we have MyFaction, a new mode for the franchise. Sick of how WWE is treating Sami Zayn? Well, in Universe Mode players are given the freedom to control the career of a wrestler of their choice and make them the face of the company. MyRise is a career-focused mode where players will get to start life as a rookie and build to become a legend of the sport. MyGM is back allowing fans to book their dream card and improve the lackluster programming we’ve had to endure over the past few years. Packed with content, WWE 2K22 looks to squeeze in a ton of modes that will keep gamers busy for hours on end. The GOAT, the legend, the icon is finally getting a dedicated mode and I for one cannot wait to play through his glorious career, especially the incredible feud with my all-time favourite wrestler, Eddie Guerrero.īrie Mode – Sorry, I couldn’t think of anything else The Showcase mode is back and in the words of Chris Kanyon, “Who Bedda” than Rey Rey for the career-based mode? Wrestling in ECW, WCW, AAA and many others, Rey has had one the most impressive careers in the industry and is still blazing a trail today. Whilst I like the new angle and immersive presentation, I’m interested in if the game will rely on cutscene heavy maneuvers or will allow for dynamic gameplay where moves can be interrupted at various points.

In the ring, this is accentuated with its intimate camera angle that allows fans to further identify minor details that make the game feel like a genuine representation of Vince’s company. The sparks surrounding Goldberg’s bulbous head, the detail on Jeff Hardy’s early 2000s Nu-Metal attire, feel authentic and help to set an atmosphere that is in line which its television counterpart.

Plain and simple, the graphics in 2K22 are amazing.
