The debut of WWE on Netflix has been a significant milestone for the company, generating immense excitement among fans. The past few months have been particularly thrilling, with highlights such as Roman Reigns reclaiming his title as tribal chief, the anticipation for the Royal Rumble, and the high-stakes match between Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes. This period, often referred to as the "Netflix Era," is set to become even more electrifying with the announcement that the iconic WWE 2K series will be available on Netflix Games starting this Fall.
For wrestling enthusiasts, the WWE 2K series requires no introduction. Since its inception with WWE 2K14, the series has had its highs and lows but has consistently been a dominant force in the wrestling simulation genre, rivaling other sports giants like Madden and FIFA. This series is the definitive platform for experiencing WWE Superstars in action, both for better and worse.
Now, fans will have the opportunity to indulge in their wrestling booking fantasies right on their mobile devices. Although details are currently limited, top WWE star CM Punk has confirmed that the 2K series is indeed heading to Netflix Games. Starting this Fall, you'll be able to immerse yourself in the most intense wrestling action directly from your phone!
Attitude Adjustment
From the information available, it appears that this won't be a new standalone entry in the series. The announcement mentioned "games" in plural, suggesting that older titles might be added to Netflix's extensive back catalog. This move could be a crowd-pleaser, as the 2K series has seen a resurgence in recent years, earning praise from fans despite some inconsistencies in 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 inclusion of the 2K series in Netflix Games could mark a new era for the platform, bringing console-quality gaming and prestige to its catalog.
