2K has today revealed the WWE 2K Battlegrounds release date. The game, a sidestep from the yearly WWE 2K games, will launch on September 18th across all major platforms and is now available for digital pre-order.
Developers Saber Interactive are excited to take the WWE 2K franchise in a new direction this year, in a style we’ve seen with games like NBA 2K Playgrounds and last year’s FIFA Volta. Sometimes fans prefer to kick back and have some fun with their idols and heroes instead of sticking to a strict realistic format.
Eight unique battlegrounds environments will be available for fans which will feature various structures and vehicles to cause maximum damage from including cars, helicopters, and even an alligator.

“We know WWE fans and gamers enjoy a wide variety of experiences, and with WWE 2K Battlegrounds, we’re presenting a whole new dimension through arcade-style gameplay that’s completely different than our WWE 2K simulation franchise,” said Chris Snyder, Vice President of Marketing for 2K. “We look forward to seeing everyone tear it up with friends and family in the Battlegrounds.”
WWE 2K Battlegrounds offers explosive excitement in an approachable experience for everyone from passionate WWE fans to casual players, with several ways to play:
Exhibition: Take part in Exhibition matches at home or on-the-go, anytime and anywhere, in local and online multiplayer action for up to four players.
Campaign: Join the adventures of seven new WWE hopefuls – created exclusively for WWE 2K Battlegrounds – in Campaign mode and compete for the chance to earn a WWE contract. Along the way, you’ll unlock new arenas, inspired by locations such as the Everglades, a military-style Bootcamp, Mexico, New York and Scotland, while receiving guidance from legendary personalities including “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and Paul Heyman.
King of the Battleground: Take on all comers in the King of the Battleground, an online, last-man-standing mode where four players start in the ring while four more wait outside to enter, challenging you to run the gauntlet and defeat them all;
Online: Test your toughness in online tournaments and Exhibition matches.
The WWE 2K Battlegrounds release date is September 18th and it will be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Windows PC via Steam. For more information, head to the official website.
