WWE 2K22 will be the first WWE 2K title since the series skipped an annual release due to thedisastrous launch of WWE 2K20.
WWE 2K20was a disappointing full debut for developerVisual Concepts, resulting inone of the lowest Metacritic scores in 2K’s history, mostly due to a huge number of technical issues at release.
In 2020, in a bid to enact a “renewed focus” on quality, publisher 2Khired former Double Helix studio head Patrick Gilmoreto take over WWE 2K.
“Core gameplay is one of the major investments we’re making in the next instalment, one of six pillars we are focused on disproportionately in development,” Gilmore wrote in a Reddit Q&A in summer 2020.
“We are looking at much-loved previous games like No Mercy or Smackdown: Here Comes the Pain, along with top franchise instalments, and more modern wrestling and fighting games to build an all-new philosophical foundation for the game.”
