WWE 2K22was first revealed at WrestleMania 37, with 2K Sports showing off somebrief gameplay between Cesaro and Rey Mysterio. SummerSlam is WWE’s second-biggest event each year, and so 2K Sports is back with another look at the game, along with some news about its release date. Anyone hoping to playWWE 2K22this year may be disappointed, as the game’s release date has been delayed to 2022.

It’s been confirmed that theWWE 2K22release date month is now March 2022. This would put theWWE 2K22release window right around WrestleMania 38, which makes sense when one considers that interest in WWE is typically highest around WrestleMania season. However, it’s quite the departure from the norm, asWWE 2Kvideo games traditionally release in October each year. It also means that there will have been no newWWE 2Kgames released in 2020 or 2021.
