The wrestling games from the WWE series by 2K Games were partially criticized by fans. Now the publisher has written an open letter about the plans for the WWE gaming experience - and by the way, 2K is announcing a completely new wrestling game, WWE 2K Battlegrounds, which this time is not a simulation, but an arcade title. Players should be allowed to get started as early as autumn.
WWE 2K Battlegrounds brings arcade-style action
The first gameplay trailer for WWE 2K Battlegrounds shows what fans can look forward to: fast, effective beating with a pinch of humor. Throw a wrestling legend like John Cena in the mouth of a crocodile? Unthinkable in a sports simulation, but a tried and tested means of achieving victory in Battlegrounds.

Fun and fast-paced action are the focus of this spin-off game. Well-known wrestlers are of course represented, but with caricatured proportions. WWE 2K Battlegrounds doesn't take itself seriously - and it shouldn't be “wrestling light” either. In addition to normal moves, there will also be effective attacks that you would otherwise find in a beat'em-up: burning fists, for example.
Much more information is not yet available on the arcade wrestling title. The period for the publication is already known: fans should be allowed to kick off in the fall of the current year.
