NBA 2K15, are evident. The series’ debut on the latest generation of gaming console hardware looks like a significant improvement over WWE 2K14, the 2013 release that was Yuke’s first under the 2K banner after the dissolution of THQ.

In addition to gameplay, the trailer takes a deeper look at the upcoming game’s roster of wrestlers. Watch closely and you’ll see The Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, Rusev, The Wyatt Family, and an assortment of others. Longtime wrestler Sting appears in the game, but as a pre-order bonus; those that pay in advance get two versions of the multiple title-winning champion.

WWE 2K22 is my new favorite TV show

The Rock and John Cena face off in WWE 2K22.

I began watching wrestling in earnest in 2014. I was in the deepest depression of my life when a friend invited me over to watch WrestleMania 30. That just happened to be the year that WWE told one of media’s greatest underdog stories, as pipsqueak Daniel Bryan (or Bryan Danielson, as you may know him now) overcame impossible odds to become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. It was an impactful moment -- one that gave me the confidence I needed to start the long climb out of a deep hole.

2K reportedly publishing two Lego sports games

Two characters race in a Lego Worlds neighborhood.

Publishing giant 2K is partnering with Lego to produce multiple sports games, including a soccer title that is set to release later this year, according to a report from Video Games Chronicle.

Set to launch close to the start of this year's FIFA World Cup, 2K's upcoming soccer game is reportedly being developed by Sumo Digital, which has previously developed Crackdown 3, along with numerous entries in the Sonic Racing franchise. It's somewhat ironic then that 2K's second Lego game will be an open-world racing title developed by Visual Concepts, which itself has made multiple sports titles for 2K, including NBA 2K22 and WWE 2K22. The 2K Lego racing game will reportedly release in 2023. According to VGC's sources, a third Lego sports game based on a major sports franchise is also in development.

Luka Donic will be on the cover of NBA 2K22

NBA 2K22 is finally here and it's time to tear up those courts! Of course, that's if you already have the game! If you're planning on picking it up, there are a few different editions, and a variety of places to do so, leaving some questions to answer. Which edition of the game is right for you, and what NBA 2K22 bonuses should you expect?

2K22's cover athletes include Luka Doncic, Dirk Nowitzki, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Kevin Durant, with different athletes featured for each edition. New this year, 2K says it revamped the gameplay to deliver faster, more responsive experiences for the player. There have been some significant changes to player movements, and there are more skill-based abilities to keep your offense engaged. Shooting has also been changed a bit, thanks to a new "dynamically resizing" shot window. Defensive AI has been bolstered too, hopefully, creating a more immersive and challenging experience overall. You can read more about the new features and changes on 2K's blog.
