New WWE 2K22 Video Features Plenty Of Revamped Controls And Gameplay

2K Games has uploaded a new gameplay video for its upcoming WWE 2K22, providing a deep dive on the fine-tuned and overhauled gameplay mechanics for the sports entertainment simulator. As principal designer Jason Vandiver explained in the video, one of the key areas that the development team focused on was controls, an aspect of WWE 2K20 that was heavily criticized for making wrestlers feel sluggish in the ring.

Another crucial part of the experience that has been revamped is the reversal system. While previous games required quick reflexes to escape a beatdown, WWE 2K22 augments this mechanic with breakers and blocks for certain types of attacks.
