The debut of WWE on Netflix has been a significant milestone for the company, generating immense excitement among fans. This excitement is set to escalate as the renowned WWE 2K series of wrestling simulation games is slated to make its way to mobile devices through Netflix Games this Fall. The recent months have been thrilling for WWE enthusiasts, with major events like Roman Reigns reclaiming his title as the tribal chief, the upcoming Royal Rumble, and the much-anticipated match between Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes. The so-called "Netflix Era" for WWE is poised to become even hotter with the addition of the iconic 2K series to the streaming platform's gaming lineup.
For wrestling aficionados, the WWE 2K series requires no introduction. Starting 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, the 2K series has been the go-to game for fans looking to experience the thrill of WWE Superstars in action.
Now, fans will have the opportunity to indulge in their wrestling booking fantasies right on their mobile phones. While specific details remain limited, top WWE star CM Punk has confirmed that the 2K series will be available on Netflix Games. Come Fall, players can enjoy the intensity of the most celebrated wrestling series in the palm of their hand!
As far as we know, this won't be a standalone entry in the series. The information released so far mentions games in plural, suggesting that older titles may join Netflix's back catalog. This move would undoubtedly delight fans, given the 2K series' strong resurgence and regained popularity in recent years, despite some ongoing critiques from reviewers.
Wrestling is no stranger to mobile gaming, with both WWE and the up-and-coming AEW having released various spin-off games over the years. However, the introduction of the WWE 2K series to Netflix Games could mark a new era for the platform, bringing console-quality gaming and prestige to its catalog.
