Information from Ringside Report:
BRINGING WARGAMES TO THE WWE 2K FRANCHISE
Internally, we’ve known that we wanted to feature this match type for a long time. While developing WWE 2K22, we were able to make some under-the-hood changes that would allow us to make this a reality for WWE 2K23. We knew this would require a team-wide effort, which would challenge us in almost every aspect of the game, from objects to the arenas, entrances, cage combat, dives, springboards, AI, and so much more.
As soon as we could play it, we immediately saw how much fun our players are going to have given all of the different situations that WarGames introduces such as Superstars entering the ring at intervals creating 2v1 or 3v2 situations. With cage combat, weapons, and the area between the two rings which we named “the trench”, we knew this would be a totally new space for combat, so we had to go to the drawing board and think about what kind of interactions users would expect to have there.
We had so much fun bringing this mode to life and I know our players will feel our passion and have a great time playing it.
MATCH RULES
So how does the WarGames match work?
– We begin with two Superstars in the ring while team members are contained in separate cages
– At regular intervals, alternating members of each team will be released from their respective cages and enter the match
– Once all team members have been released and have entered the match, WarGames will officially begin
– WarGames can be won by pinfall or submission or throwing your opponent off the cage
WarGames’ introduction to the WWE 2K franchise has been a long time coming, and we’re eager for you to get in the ring and experience it for yourself! WarGames is just one of many exciting features you’ll find in WWE 2K23, but we don’t want to reveal everything just yet. Stay tuned for more Ringside Reports in the coming weeks for more information regarding your favorite Superstars and modes!
