2K announced today that WWE 2K22, the first new title in the series after the "pause for reflection" that visual concept developers had taken in 2019 in order to bring the series back to the levels requested by fans, will arrive on March 11 and will see as cover star the popular luchador Rey Mysterio.

The publisher has also revealed all the features of the game: from the redesigned game engine, to the new controls, to the updated images, WWE 2K22 is set to watch, feel, play with a whole new style. The engine, along with WWE 2K's most striking graphics to date, delivers an unprecedented level of realism for the franchise. An updated and intuitive control scheme and a new engaging presentation will allow players to feel the pressure and reward for every punch, kick and back.

The most popular game modes, including the return of 2K Showcase – with Rey Mysterio – incorporate new features and updates, allowing players to relive the iconic moments behind Mysterio's most famous encounters. In MyRISE, players chart their own path to a superstar career. With Universe Mode and the updated Creation Suite, WWE 2K22 gives players the ability to fully customize their WWE experience down to the smallest details. Players can take control of brands, premium live events, match results, rivalries, create their own custom Superstar, arenas and even leagues. All creations can also be shared with the WWE 2K22 community, for the first time ever also in cross-platform.

WWE 2K22 will also introduce new modes to the WWE 2K experience: MyGM and MyFACTION. In MyGM, players step into the role of a WWE General Manager to build the biggest brand in the WWE Universe. From writing the definitive roster of WWE Superstars and Legends to developing iconic rivalries and clashes in the league, players will have the chance to take the reins and prove they are capable of stepping on the best stages of sports entertainment. With the franchise's first MyFACTION mode, players can collect and manage their dream faction with weekly events and regular updates.

We leave you now to the official announcement trailer and a set of images: good vision!
