Watch the WWE 2K22 announcement trailer to see how the developers and wrestling stars have joined forces for the upcoming game. This year's WWE 2K22 cover star is Rey Mysterio in celebration of his 20th anniversary as a WWE Superstar.

WWE 2K22 will have a redesigned engine, new MyGM and MyFACTION modes, new controls, upgraded visuals, and more. The WWE 2K22 release date is March 11, 2022. It's available to pre-order now.

Glad GM mode is back but I wonder how fast the roster will be outdated? With the releases here and there.

In it just to see all the hilarious glitches again.

How is this an "announcement" trailer when they've linked to the previous trailers on this video? It's a fun, unrealistic look at the game (I like how Tim just randomly shows up at WWE Incoprorated), but we've known about and seen this game for awhile now.

 

[Arcadialane]

This has been looking really good to their credit from what we've seen so far, excited.

It's a re-announcement, if you will?

It's also an announcement of the full features and gameplay systems (although it's still not hardly a "gameplay trailer", as there's nothing from the main game camera, even if WWE is heavily cutscene-based action.) Even the November trailer last year ended with "Full details to come starting January 2022", so even though this still is a very, very limited reveal in the new trailer (I think there's still less game footage in the "Official Announcement Trailer" than either previous trailer, this is really more like a TV commercial selling the idea of the game than it is actually a proper product showcase,) I kind of get how the previous trailers were still considered teasers. Ideally, now that this "Official Announcement Trailer" is out, the floodgates will be opened for more gameplay looks and match videos. But we'll see.

Ultimately, you're right, it's a silly term to call it the second or third "Announcement Trailer", but it does feel like it needed to be re-announced. It wasn't just a "we need a little extra time" delay when it missed its Fall 2021 release, as they were supposedly overhauling it over even what was teased/"announced" before, back in April.

They should really work on the facial animations. They look so lifeless.

2K21's glitches were unbelievably hilarious.

 

[Concern]

Im just ready for new gifs and memes lol

 

[MiguelItUp]

Yeah, the facial animations definitely look... off. Game still looks a bit stiff in the footage they've shown too. I really miss solid wrestling games, I wish they were in better shape these days. For years now it's just felt like a "there's nothing else, so I'll settle for this" kinda thing.

Here's to hoping for more ridiculous bugs, lmao.

Probably already is. Almost every game I can think of launched with released wrestlers on the roster.

Goddammit that NWO stuff is going to make me shell out extra money if this proves to be good.

 

[RaptorGTA]

I wonder how many times they had to reshoot or cut scenes out of wrestlers that got "budget cut".

 

[MarkMe2525]

I'm down to play but those prices are fucked.

 

[Fuz]

...did I see the Warrior on the trailer?

 

[Soodanim]

I hope it's good because a good wrestling game can have a long life, but the edition list is confusing and filled with nonsense

What's all the "My" stuff? MyFaction, MyRise. MyHeadHurts from the convoluted way they've gone about this. I need spreadsheets and a powerpoint to guide me through it

...did I see the Warrior on the trailer?

For some reason he's all over it

 

[AJUMP23]

I want to see that AEW game.

 

[Starcheif]

I was just watching a video on Saturday Night Slam Masters and how great that game was so maybe this will suprise me and be great.

 

[Polelock]

Will most certainly be waiting for it to release before diving in, 2k20 was a dumpsterfire

 

[Rest]

Glitch out or get the F out.

[Starcheif]

[Concern]
