Players collect and upgrade cards featuring wrestlers, divas, and managers and use them to compete in various match types, including exhibition matches, tournaments, and King of the Ring.
WWE 2K Battlegrounds
Saber Interactive and 2K Sports created and released WWE 2K Battlegrounds, a professional wrestling video game based on well known WWE superstars past and present. It is a spin-off of the WWE 2K series, which focuses on arcade-style gameplay rather than the simulation-style of the main series. The game was released in September 2020 for multiple platforms, including PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
WWE 2K Battlegrounds has a more cartoonish and over-the-top presentation than the main WWE 2K series, as well as different mechanics like special abilities and power-ups that can be used to gain an advantage during matches.
The series has been criticized for some issues, such as a lack of innovation, bugs and glitches, and a generally poor performance. However, developers have been trying to address these issues with updates and patches, and they have also been trying to bring new features to the game.
Overall, the WWE 2K series is a popular and well-regarded franchise among fans of professional wrestling and video games. While we are not sure if 2k Games will officially announce the release date of WWE 2k23 at its January 28 event, what we do know is that the latest installment of the WWE 2k series is billed to be heads and shoulders above its predecessors in features, functionality and gameplay.
