WWE Is Now Making An Role-Playing Video Game

WWE is making an RPG game. Yes, you’ve read that correctly, World Wrestling Entertainment is making a role-playing game.

News of the potential WWE RPG game was teased by WWE Superstar Xavier Woods and all-around good guy, indie wrestler and journalist, Simon Miller.

WWE Financial Call: “We have recently signed a deal for a WWE RPG game,” tweeted Miller. To which Woods replied with a cheeky wink gif. Perhaps hinting at the truth behind Simon Miller’s initial tweet.

However, as reported by Eurogamer, confirmation was received that the WWE RPG is real and it is happening. The news was revealed during a recent WWE financial call and details will be revealed “soon.”

[WWE] recently signed a new deal in the role-playing game space that will be announced soon,” said WWE chief brand manager, Stephanie McMahon. “We also continue to evaluate the metaverse, both walled garden environments that already exist as well as decentralised properties. Look to hear more in the coming months.

Don’t get too excited

However, before we get excited, it looks like this WWE RPG will be a mobile game. “We continue to see strength in the performance of our mobile games with 2K and Scopely, SuperCard and Champions,” added McMahon during the call.

As you may know, the two games mentioned above, WWE SuperCard and WWE Champions are mobile games. Not to mention that Stephanie McMahon states that they will “continue to see strength in the performance of our mobile games.”

There is another

So, yeah, as fun as what a WWE RPG might be, don’t get your hopes up on a console release. Thankfully, if you’re after a wrestling RPG to play on your console, there is another.
