What is WWE 2K22's release date?
WWE 2K22 is the latest edition of 2K's WWE video game franchise. This will be the first WWE game launched since Battlegrounds, which took the place of the expected WWE 2K21 game last year.
2020's edition, the last main entry in the franchise, generated controversy and negative reviews from players and critics alike due to its many bugs and missing features. With 2K22, the studio looks to right the ship and deliver the quality experience expected by fans.
WWE 2K22 is set to be released on March 11, 2022.
What's different about WWE 2K22's release date?
The poor reception for WWE 2K20 caused 2K to change their usual plan with this game release, which has been delayed even further from its usual window to a March release date.
Since its March 11 launch date was revealed, with an early release for those pre-purchasing the game, this has been one of the most anticipated wrestling games in years.
