WWE 2K22 has been delayed to March of 2022 if it at all will come to Nintendo Switch. Thanks to sources that spoke to Sports Gamers Online, we may now know why it was delayed
2K Sports and WWE have been going back and forth on pushing back WWE 2K22 since almost immediately after the game was announced. Most of those within WWE wanted the game to release in the normal Survivor Series window. Those from 2K Sports and Visual Concepts, on the other hand, pushed hard for a delay of the launch
2K Sports and the WWE have been in constant disagreement about various parts of the game.
There’s a problem with the roster being outdated due to 2K “working on scanning wrestlers and building new character models pretty much from the ground up” for wrestlers that were going, or have since been, released from the WWE. If you are not aware WWE has been releasing superstars like it is nothing.
The issues with WWE 2K
The poor performance of WWE 2K20 has also resulted in 2K Sports having a harder time working with the WWE. Although the latter saw a profit, they also saw losses due to the game’s poor launch and reception.
Although 2K Sports publishes WWE 2K games, Visual Concepts are the developer team that makes them now, ever since THQ closed down.
Sadly, they have become pinched, underfunded and understaffed. The added pressure of working on this game hasn’t helped at all. And according to Sports Gamers Online’s sources, working there “just hasn’t been a fun place to be. Second guessing happens constantly because of a desperation to get things right.
So, is there any hope for the “seriously strained” relationship between the two parties to improve in the near future? Sports Gamers Online’s sources said that “it wouldn’t take as much as people would assume. That’s how bad it’s been. But one great game and fan response could turn things right around.
Besides that we have WWE 2K18 on Nintendo Switch … which you simply put should burn with fire … so yeah are we going to miss WWE 2K22 if it does not happen?
