The debut of WWE on Netflix has ignited a major surge of excitement for the company. The so-called "Netflix Era" is about to get even hotter with the announcement that the iconic WWE 2K series is making its way to mobile through Netflix Games this Fall. This development promises to bring the high-octane world of wrestling simulation right to your fingertips.
For wrestling enthusiasts, the WWE 2K series needs no introduction. Starting with WWE 2K14, the series has had its ups and downs but has consistently been a dominant force on store shelves, rivaling other major sports titles like Madden and FIFA. When it comes to showcasing WWE Superstars, the 2K series is unparalleled, offering fans the chance to engage with their favorite wrestlers in a virtual environment.
Now, fans will have the opportunity to live out their wrestling booking fantasies on their mobile devices. Although details are currently limited, top WWE star CM Punk has confirmed that the 2K series will be available on Netflix Games. Starting this Fall, players can experience the intense action of the WWE 2K series right in the palm of their hand!
Attitude Adjustment
From what we know so far, this move to mobile is not expected to be an entirely new entry in the series. Instead, it appears that multiple games from the 2K series will be added to Netflix's gaming library. This approach is not unprecedented, as Netflix has previously included older titles in its back catalog. Such a move could be a crowd-pleaser, given the series' resurgence in recent years and the praise it has garnered from fans, despite sometimes mixed critical reviews.
Wrestling is no stranger to mobile gaming, with both WWE and the upstart promotion AEW having released numerous spin-off titles over the years. However, the addition of the WWE 2K series to Netflix Games could mark a new era in mobile gaming, offering console-quality experiences and bringing a level of prestige to the platform's gaming catalog.
