WWE 2K22 is an upcoming wrestling game developed by Visual Concepts. The game promises to be quite an improvement over its predecessor, WWE 2K20, which was widely regarded as mediocre. For one, WWE 2K22 reimagines its career mode, called MyRISE. For the first time in the series, the story will feature choices and subplots – a definite step up from previous games’ linear narratives. In addition, the game will feature not one, but two different storylines – one for male and one for female wrestlers. Yes, WWE 2K20 had two stories as well, but it’s good to see that Visual Concepts didn’t abandon this innovation in favor of branching paths.
What’s more, a completely new game mode, MyFACTION, has been added to the game. In it, players will have to collect various WWE Superstars and managers. They can then be improved by playing and participating in regularly scheduled events.
All these innovations would be worthless, however, if the core gameplay mechanics are poor. In that regard, WWE 2K22 is also promising, as the developers say that they’ve put a lot of focus on the overall quality.
The game will be available on PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox One & Series X/S, as well as Microsoft Windows. There is no Mac release planned, however. But that doesn’t mean you will not be able to play it – there are several ways to play WWE 2K22 on Mac in absence of the official port.
