The new gameplay trailer is helmed by fan-favourite wrestlers as they compete against each other in-game. Amongst the roster is WWE Superstar, Cesaro; Raw Women’s Champion, Asuka; and SmackDown Tag Team Champions, Kofi Kingston and Big E.
As for the game itself, the over-the-top nature WWE 2K Battlegrounds is aiming to achieve is demonstrated through a four-player brawl. The match is complete with colourful visuals, elaborate stages and finishing moves such as feeding an opponent to an alligator. Check it out below:
WWE 2K Battlegrounds is being developed by Saber Interactive, who are most notably known for creating recent titles such as World War Z and the popular driving-sim, SnowRunner. The game is being described as social pick-up-and-play experience, but with plenty of depth for those who want to delve deeper.
Over 70 WWE Superstars and Legends will be available on launch and players can embark on a single-player campaign to obtain a WWE contract or compete online in a variety of modes.
Publisher, 2K Games, recently announced that the upcoming Mafia: Definite Edition would be subject to a delay due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic. In a statement to fans the company said: “Finalizing everything in time for that launch date has become increasingly challenging due to the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, and the last thing we want to do is compromise the quality of the experience.”
