The debut of WWE on Netflix has undoubtedly been a major high point for the company, marked by intense moments like Roman Reigns reclaiming the title of tribal chief, the excitement of the upcoming Royal Rumble, and the much-anticipated match between Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes. This so-called "Netflix Era" is set to escalate even further with the iconic WWE 2K series making its way to Netflix Games this Fall.
For wrestling enthusiasts, the WWE 2K series needs no introduction. Since its inception with WWE 2K14, the series has been a dominant force on store shelves, standing alongside other sports gaming giants like Madden and FIFA. Whether praised or critiqued, it remains the definitive wrestling simulation game, putting WWE Superstars front and center.
Now, fans can indulge in their wrestling booking fantasies right on their mobile devices! Although details are limited, top star CM Punk has confirmed that the 2K series is coming to Netflix Games. Starting this Fall, you'll be able to experience the intensity of the most renowned wrestling series in the palm of your hand!
As far as we know, this won't be a new standalone entry in the series. The information we have refers to "games" in plural, suggesting that older titles might be added to Netflix's back catalog. This move could be a crowd-pleaser, especially since the 2K series has made a strong comeback in recent years, earning praise from many fans, despite some shaky critical reception.
Wrestling is no stranger to mobile gaming, with both WWE and the upstart promotion AEW releasing various spin-off games over the years. However, the addition of the WWE 2K series to Netflix Games could mark a new era, bringing console-quality gaming and prestige to the platform's catalog.
