WWE 2K22 Gameplay Video – Developers Discuss Dynamic Animations, Gameplay & More

2K has released their first Ringside Report today with a video highlighting actual WWE 2K22 gameplay. The developers discuss dynamic animations, gameplay and more as they provide details during a match between cover Superstar Rey Mysterio vs. Damian Priest.

Creative Director Lynell Jinks, Art Producer Christina Diem Pham, Principal Designer Jason Vandiver, Senior Producer Jonathan Rivera, and Senior Designer Derek Donahue provide commentary as the full match plays out.

Here are just some of the highlights:

• New dynamic animations, only possible through the redesigned gameplay engine, on display from both Superstars in the ring. The Superstars feel more responsive and easier to control, and each move connects smoother and more precisely.
• An overhauled lighting engine that showcases the extreme details of the Superstars, making them look hyper realistic.
• Tweaked object physics allow for unexpected moments throughout the match. Kendo sticks fray with each hit, and tables and corner barricades break dynamically to create a more authentic match experience.
• Strategic defensive commands which include blocking, dodging, and breakers.
