2K and Visual Concepts details 10 features and innovations in WWE 2K22

Even as the white hot All Elite Wrestling is generating buzz, nothing can derail the juggernaut known as the World Wrestling Entertainment.

A brand new engine, revised controls, beautiful visuals, and a plethora of returning modes will hopefully satisfy the hard to please fanbase that expect nothing but the best in class experience. The next info drop on the title is expected to occur January 2022 (hopefully a roster reveal).

The WWE 2K Hit List promises sensational new additions, including:

  • Redesigned Gameplay Engine: The most important change in WWE 2K22 is in the engine itself.
