WWE 2k22 is just weeks away from release. The game will be available worldwide in March 2022.
It will be the first time since October 2019 that a game in the WWE 2k series has been released, focused on the in-ring product. In 2020, 2k released Battlegrounds, which was an arcade-style game, not a traditional release.
The traditional release of the game was delayed to allow the gaming company more time to work on development through the COVID-19 pandemic. WWE 2k20 received negative reviews due to glitches and poorly executed visuals and graphics. Sales were also deemed lower than in previous years.

So what will be the price of WWE 2k22?
Real Sport 101 revealed that they expect the game to be released at $59.99 for the standard edition to be played on Playstation 4 and Xbox One. For Next Generation consoles, they anticipate it will be $69.99 lining up with other NextGen sports game releases.
Serial gamer Xavier Woods, who sold his gaming brand UpUpDownDown to WWE, revealed his expectations for the new 2k22 release:
"I’m hoping this game brings back that equity with the gamer fans because I know it was hard to play some of them, to be honest. They all have their good things and their great aspects, but as far as a fun video game is concerned, sometimes I’m just looking for that and I feel like the learning curve got a little intense. On this one, they said there’s remastered controls and all that stuff and I feel good about it. So, like I said, fingers crossed." (h/t Wrestling Inc.)
