The debut of WWE on Netflix has marked a significant milestone for the company, generating immense excitement among fans. The past few months have been exhilarating, highlighted by events like Roman Reigns reclaiming his title as the Tribal Chief, the anticipation of the Royal Rumble, and the intense rivalry between Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes. This period, often referred to as the "Netflix Era," is set to escalate further with the introduction of the iconic WWE 2K series to Netflix Games this coming Fall.
For wrestling enthusiasts, the WWE 2K series requires no introduction. Starting with WWE 2K14, the series has had its ups and downs but has consistently been a major player in the sports simulation genre, rivaling titles like Madden and FIFA. When it comes to featuring WWE Superstars prominently, the 2K series is unparalleled.
Now, fans can indulge in their wrestling booking fantasies right on their mobile devices. While specific details are still under wraps, top WWE star CM Punk has confirmed that the 2K series is set to join Netflix Games. Starting this Fall, you'll have the chance to experience the intensity of the most renowned wrestling series directly in the palm of your hand!
As far as we know, this won't be a standalone new release. The information we've received mentions "games" in plural, suggesting that older titles might be added to Netflix's back catalogue. This move would undoubtedly thrill fans, as the 2K series has made a strong comeback in recent years, earning praise despite occasional mixed reviews from critics.
Wrestling is no stranger to the mobile platform, with both WWE and the up-and-coming AEW having released various spin-off games over the years. However, the addition of the 2K series to Netflix Games could mark a new era, bringing console-quality gaming and prestige to the platform's catalogue.
