Based on the trailer graphics, it looks like something that would run on mobile, but it wouldn’t necessarily seem out of place on a console either.Īt Least the Main Series Has Some Breathing Roomīut even if enduring a WWE mobile game is the trade-off for not having to suffer through WWE 2K21, then I’d say it’s a fair bargain. That said, we still don’t know what platform(s) WWE 2K Battlegrounds will launch on. I’d hate to see that ruined by the same randomized mobile game trash that we’ve seen trotted out time and time again.

That’s unsurprising, given that it’s being developed by Saber Interactive – the team behind NBA Playgrounds. WWE 2K Battlegrounds has a noticeably more cartoonish art style than the traditional simulation series. It was only the other day that WWE 2K21 was effectively canceled, and we already have a new game to bridge the gap: WWE 2K Battlegrounds.
