2K Renews Multi-Year Partnership With WWE
2K is going to remain the home of WWE games in a new multi-year deal. While financial terms were not disclosed, the agreement gives the publisher exclusive rights to games on all platforms and formats.
This indicates that we can continue to expect more yearly installments of the console wrestling franchise. The company will also continue to invest in the SuperCard free-to-play mobile game.
2K says that the iOS and Android title has been downloaded more than 9 million times since its 2014 launch. For more on WWE, check out our review for the most recent console installment.
Our Take
We didn’t love WWE 2K16, making this announcement a double-edged sword. 2K acquired the WWE license it has been operating under following THQ’s demise.
Hopefully striking its own deal for a number of years means improvements are coming. 2K knows sports games. The publisher’s NBA offering is great. It can bring WWE to that level.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
