Then jump on over to GR’s WWE 2K22 roster guide.Speaking about it, there is a lot of focus on realism in WWE 2K20, where a bunch of lightweight wrestlers will not be able to lift heavyweight superstars in the game, which makes sense, but you cannot then venture off into the surreal aspects of the game and have Nikki Cross crawl up on the side of the walls. WWE 2K22 is released on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X and Xbox One in March 2022. But will it feel that way, and – more importantly – translate to an exciting, realistic video game? While cautiously excited about GM Mode, that’s the main question we’ll be seeking to answer in an early 2022 hands-on. Footage of Kofi Kingston thumping Jeff Hardy in the ribs, then bulldogging his face into the mat, certainly looks impactful. WWE 2K22 retains 30,000 moves, and adds 5,000 new ones, while all existing strikes have been recaptured and retimed. “The team has rebuilt the entire gameplay and animation engine from the ground up to make every dive, kickout and finisher feel like you’re sitting ringside at WrestleMania… We’ve rebuilt gameplay to meet a frictionless standard of accessibility: intuitive attacks, counters, combos, giving you more options at your disposal.” The simpler means of hitting finishers and signatures is emphatically welcome after 2K20 forced you to press two buttons at once in order to pull off a wrestler’s best-known moves.Īs for that other priority, “the most important and critical change in WWE 2K22 resides in the engine itself,” says Diem Pham. RT is your modifier button: hold it then tap A for a finisher, X for a signature, Y for a payback move, or B to try a submission. B initiates a grapple, X a light attack, A heavy attack, and Y has two functions: tap it for a reversal, or hold it for a block. To that end, I spy a screenshot of the Xbox Series X scheme. After WWE 2K20 sunk in an ocean of bug-ridden infamy, Visual Concepts is aware that the fundamentals are paramount – particularly as that game senselessly decimated a familiar, functional control set. I’ve saved the most important hit-list pillars for last: controls and gameplay. The items purchased with VC can also be purchased with MyFaction points earned via gameplay.” Control yourself, big guy "It’s super important to note that VC does not offer any sort of competitive advantage or put players in a pay-to-win situation. “MyFaction is the only mode in WWE 2K22 where purchasable VC comes into play," says Diem Pham. The initial similarity to FIFA 22’s Ultimate Team raises the issue of micro-transactions, so it's worth noting that MyFaction is a single-player mode. You can band together wrestlers from various eras of WWE, then use them to compete in weekly events throughout the year. “This all-new mode enables you to build a legendary crew that rivals the NWO, Hart Foundation, DX, Four Horsewomen, and New Day,” she explains. They might not be classed as giants, but it should mean we get to relive classic bouts against Eddie Guerrero and Kurt Angle.Īrt producer Christina Diem Pham takes over the presentation to talk us through an intriguing hit-list addition called MyFaction. “In a universe populated by monsters, giants, and larger-than-life beings, I was determined to find my own path to the top of the mountain in sports entertainment,” he says in a brief clip promoting the returning mode. WWE Showcase, in which you relive classic matches of yesteryear, is also back, with cruiserweight legend Mysterio seemingly placed in a central role. It takes your created superstar from WWE signee, to rookie, to superstar, to legend, with branching subplots promised for both male and female characters. The latter is another one of WWE 2K22’s ten hit-list pillars – “you’ll have more control over brands, pay-per-views, match results and rivalries” says Jinks – as is M圜areer, albeit under a new name: MyRise. If money matters sound too much like work, then know that MyGM isn’t intended to usurp WWE Universe – the mode which replaced it back in 2008.
