The company revealed that WWE 2K Battlegrounds will have five different game modes, including a new campaign. In the campaign, the player will be able to control one of seven superstars.

WWE 2K Battlegrounds will also have “eight unique Battlegrounds environments which will play a huge part in the action”. Most of the “Battlegrounds environments” will feature interactive elements which a player can use as melee weapons. According to the company and the recently released trailer, players will be able to smash opponents with cars and throw them into the jaws of a hungry alligator. The WWE 2K Battlegrounds will also feature in-depth customisation, meaning players will be able to customise their own arenas, build their own and unique WWE superstars with different body types and sizes, facial features, clothing, hair and fighting styles.

The Digital Deluxe Edition will also include 1,100 bonus Golden Bucks (in-game currency) that can be used to unlock superstars and various cosmetic items. Forbes claims that 2K will not be releasing another version of WWE 2K Battlegrounds for the next-gen consoles. However, the upcoming PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X is expected to be backward compatible, so fans can play PS4 or Xbox One games on the more powerful systems when they’re released.
