Wrestling games have been a big part of gaming for a long time, and this includes a variety of genres. From arcade-style games to simulation-style games to even a wrestling RPG, there is something for everyone. One company that has taken note of the variety of genres is WWE, which recently had a successful revival of its video game franchise after the disastrous attempt back in 2019. During WWE’s recent earnings call, Stephanie McMahon talked about WWE video games and revealed WWE has an RPG in the works, with details to be revealed later.
“We were extremely pleased with the relaunch of our premium video game console franchise WWE 2K/ After taking a little more than a year off to improve the game engine, we worked hand in glove with our partners at Take Two Interactive, listened to our customers and fans, and earned back their trust by delivering a game that exceeded their expectations. WWE 2K22 was a commercial and critical success with the highest Metacritic scores on both Xbox and Playstation platforms in franchise history with over 5.6 million hours viewed on Twitch to date. We continue to strengthen in the performance of our mobile games, with 2K and Scopely, SuperCard, and Champions, and recently signed a new deal in the role-playing game place that will be announced soon.”
What direction do you hope to see this RPG take?
