According to a latest announcement from WWE 2K, a bizarre new cartoon wrestling game referred to as WWE 2K Battlegrounds is at present in growth.
Last week it was confirmed that 2K was not working on WWE 2K21. However, it has since turn out to be clear that this information was tied to the actual fact there can be no new Visual Concepts wrestling sim in 2020, i.e. no new WWE 2K2X game. Instead we now have Battlegrounds, which is as a lot a horror sim as it’s a wrestling one.
“We’re thrilled to introduce you to WWE 2K Battlegrounds, a completely new WWE gaming experience that will feature arcade-style action and over-the-top Superstar designs, environments and moves,” reads the official WWE press release. “We’re focusing on social pick-up-and-play fun, but with plenty of depth for those who want to get way into it.” You can watch the official WWE 2K Battlegrounds trailer under.
As you’ll be able to see, the trailer options fan-favourites akin to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and John Cena, though they give the impression of being a bit completely different to their typical selves. Also, it appears you’ll be able to throw individuals out of the ring and right into a crocodile’s patiently ready jaws. It’s clearly not probably the most standard wrestling game. You may even field individuals within the face whereas your fists are on hearth, which might in all probability be unlawful within the non-existent WWE 2K21.
“WWE 2K Battlegrounds is scheduled to launch this fall and we look forward to sharing more information about the game in the coming months,” the press launch continues.
The assertion concludes by providing readability as to why WWE 2K21 will not be in manufacturing. “We are extending the production timeline and will not be releasing a WWE 2K simulation game in 2020,” it reads. “We want to ensure the development team at Visual Concepts can create a great game that will entertain grizzled WWE 2K veterans, as well as newcomers who want to climb through the ropes and step into the ring for the very first time.”
As of now, WWE 2K Battlegrounds is tentatively scheduled to launch in fall. Here’s an image of its latest wrestler, Doc Croc.
