While its name might superficially imply some genre bond with Battle Royale spearhead “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds”, in which up to 100 players scurry around an expansive environment in a search for weapons, equipment and each other, 2K hasn’t confirmed such wild ambition in its announcement.
Instead, the “WWE 2K Battlegrounds” title format is more likely a reference to its developer’s earlier sports arcade series, “NBA 2K Playgrounds”. A lack of detail around “WWE 2K Battlegrounds” content leaves room for speculation around the new game’s modes, including the possibility of all-star rumbles.
However, at this point 2K has restricted itself to a description of “social pick-up-and-play fun” with “plenty of depth for those who want to get way into it.” “Whether you’re a casual gamer just learning the ropes or a passionate fan ready for all the action, ‘WWE 2K Battlegrounds’ provides another way to enjoy WWE video game action,” the announcement reads.Even here, a lack of specificity around launch platforms leaves open the possibility that it will release on the upcoming Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 as well as the current PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
