That’s pretty much the core loop–go to various locales around the world and recruit characters while they get interrupted by actual WWE talent. Heyman and Austin eventually go to other places like Florida, Mexico, and even a military bootcamp to find more outstanding men and women defending their home turf, pinning all sorts of WWE talent along the way to become WWE Superstars on their own. After conveniently winning matches against the likes of actual WWE Superstars like Baron Corbin (before he became King Corbin), Apollo Crews, Kevin Owens, and Samoa Joe to name a few, Bolo eventually fights his way to the WWE Performance Center and the Battlegrounds Era really begins. After somehow obtaining his approval, Heyman then meets up with Stone Cold Steve Austin to help him recruit new superstars from around the world to be a part of this new era, and that’s where we meet Bolo Reynolds, a solid all-around wrestler from New York. The story starts over dinner when Paul Heyman pitches an idea to Vince McMahon about a new brand, or more specifically, a new era with Battlegrounds. Speaking of grassroots and cartoony action, the game does try to make sense of things through its Campaign mode which is told through a virtual comic strip like you see above. The writers at Saber Interactive really took some hard jabs at Vince, and it’s surprising that any of this content got approved in the final build.
You can, however, feed WWE Superstars at swamp alligators. You won’t see spectacular entrances, unless you find wrestlers kicking their way out of a crate spectacular. Battlegrounds is more grassroots, featuring a lot of in-your-face, cartoony action, so while most of the WWE roster is here with their catchy theme music and hard-hitting finishers, it’s a party brawler first and foremost. Instead, Battlegrounds is a budget title meant to be an experience just about any gamer can pick up and play regardless of their knowledge of wrestling or wrestling games.ĭon’t expect the high production or spectacle that’s become commonplace in WWE events, though.
While the next release is being figured out, we’ve been treated to the far more outlandish and arcade-like WWE 2K Battlegrounds, but does it do enough to fill the wrestling void? What Is It?ĭeveloped by Saber Interactive, WWE 2K Battlegrounds is a far cry from the hardcore experience players became accustomed to with WWE 2K. After the viral travesty that was WWE 2K20, 2K has taken a bit of a break on their marquee WWE series.
