WWE 2K22 cover art and pre-order bonus were leaked last weekend, and it was logical to assume 2K would announce them with a release date of the game officially. Now 2K has revealed the exact release date of WWE 2K22 alongside prices of different versions of the game that will cost in the range of $70 to $120. As the last weekend’s leak said, WWE’s legend Rey Mysterio will be on the cover of this year’s WWE that will be released in March.
WWE 2K22 will be the first WWE 2K title in the series that skipped an annual release due to the catastrophic launch of WWE 2K20. Due to the many technical issues WWE 2K20 had, it had one of the lowest Metacritic scores in 2K’s history. WWE 2K22 will be the first installment that prices game starts at the base of $70. Therefore the studio decided not to release a WWE game in 2021 and put more time in effort into the 2022 installment of the series.
