There are no additional details about the WWE RPG just yet, but McMahon says “gaming is a priority for WWE to reach♛ our next-gen audience with over 80% of WWE's audience self-identifying as gamers.” That’s “next-gen” as in people under 34, not necessarily PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X fans.
McMahon also says that WWE is continuing to “evaluate the metaverse, both walled garden environments th🐼at already exist as well as decentralized properties.” Whatever that ends up meaning, we can expect to hear more in “the coming months.”
As for traditional WWE games, McMahon says the company is “extremely pleased” with WWE 2K22. “After taking a little more than a year off to improve the game engine, we worked hand in glove with our partners at Take-Two Interactive, listened to our customers and fans, and earned back th🙈eir trust by delivering a game that exceeded their expectations.”
McMahon says “WWE 2K22 was a commercial and critical success with the hi🍌ghest Metacritic scores on both Xbox and PlayStation platforms in franchise history with over 5.6 million hours viewed on Twitc🍸h to date.”
