WWE 2K22 Executive Producer Explains Lack Of Updates

The WWE 2K series of video games continues to get mixed responses from fans over the years. While they have provided great games such as 2K19, they also released WWE 2k20, which was universally panned.

WWE 2K22 was announced during WrestleMania 37 and finally, during WWE SummerSlam, it was announced that the game will release next year in March, as opposed to this year.

As reported earlier, the WWE 2K22 had to delay the release of the game due to WWE releasing so many talents this year. Ultimately, the delay caused the relationship between WWE and 2k to become ‘really strained.’

Many fans were concerned regarding the delay. Due to this, Executive Producer Patrick Gilmore took to Twitter and reassured fans about the delay, stating that they will make the best game possible.

“I’ve heard some concerns about WWE2K22 going quiet until January. The challenge is that creating updates like the #SummerSlam trailer requires support from development, and we’re trying to stay completely focused on making you the best game possible.

“Just reassuring everyone that we’re going to continue to support online services for WWE2K20 and WWE2K19 through the WWE2K22 release in March! Road to Glory and MyPlayer PPV Tower in WWE2K20 will sunset September 26. In-game messaging is automated, and may be incorrect…”

We will have to wait and see how WWE 2k22 will turn out to be next year as the future of the franchise solely rests on the success of the game.
