WWE 2K22: 10 Confirmed Changes You Need To Know About

2. Overall Presentation

"Immersive presentation" is one of the bigger improvements 2K are touting for 2K22. If the trailer is anything to go by, then rightly so, but trailers are only half the battle. In fact, scrap that, they're maybe as little as 10% of the battle. This will mean nothing if the gameplay doesn't look good in motion.

Thankfully, things look encouraging.

Clips of Bobby Lashley smashing Chad Gable around show that 2K want to get closer to the action mid-match. Hopefully, that doesn't mean they'll rely on an elaborate string of Kevin Dunn-pleasing camera angle changes, but instead simply take players inside the ring for a better view. That'd be killer.

Close-ups were also visible during entrances for workers like Edge and Bayley too. Unfortunately, crowds, commentary and more can't be critiqued quite yet, because the trailer didn't really spotlight those aspects of the new game.

Those zoomed-in cam angles are rather gorgeous though.
