A new cartoonish WWE game with superpowers called WWE 2K Battlegrounds is currently under development.
A week ago 2K had announced that there would not be a WWE 2K21 game releasing this year. Instead, in the latest blog from 2k, the company announced its new arcade action game: WWE 2K Battlegrounds. It is similar to the NBA 2K Playgrounds series in terms of aesthetic, gameplay and feel. Big cartoonish heads with tiny bodies, superhuman abilities similar to that of WWE All Stars and added elements for exaggerated feel.
The game is currently under development by Saber Interactive, the same studio behind previously mentioned NBA 2K Playgrounds. 2K further went on to state, “WWE 2K Battlegrounds provides another way to enjoy WWE video game action”. You can check out their teaser here:
The trailer features some of the fan favourites such as John Cena and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, with a unique aesthetic to them. The game also allows players to throw opponents out of the ring into the jaws of a hungry crocodile patiently waiting outside. The environments outside the ring also look different from what we have previously seen in the games.
2K also addressed their previous announcement regarding the cancellation of WWE 2K21. The company stated that they had taken into consideration the feedback they had received from the players with regards to gameplay, poor graphics and the overbearing bugs. In order to deliver a better fan service, 2K has chosen to delay the production date for their next WWE 2K game.
2K further went onto state that they have recruited Patrick Gilmore to serve as their Executive Producer and lead their Visual Effects team. Gilmore has a 25-year experience in video games, going as far back as working on Disney’s Aladdin on Sega Genesis, Killer Instinct and Medal of Honor.
WWE 2K Battlegrounds is set to release this fall. Details on the platforms have not yet been revealed by the company.
