SportsGamerShow - How 2K Sports Can Improve WWE Video Games

Now that we know Take-Two/2K is the new home for WWE video games, fans of the series are speculating what changes to expect with the acquisition.

THQ, who had no choice but to give up the WWE license, had a good run. However, their games in recent years had a familiarity about them that resulted in some gamers clamoring for change.

With the deal now being official, a transition is coming whether fans like it or not. In this episode of SGS, I’ll give you my wishlist on the changes I want made to the next WWE video game.

WWE Video Game License Officially Obtained by Take-Two Interactive The rumors are confirmed: Take-Two Interactive, parent company of 2K Sports, has officially obtained the license to create WWE games. Bloomberg reports that the agreement between THQ, developer Yuke’s and Take-Two will save the company millions by reducing claims against the bankrupt video game maker, according to court documents filed yesterday. Those hoping the news would result in a major change for WWE video games will be disappointed. According to Polygon, Yuke’s will continue to develop future WWE titles under Take-Two. The Japanese company has developed wrestling games for THQ since 2000.

THQ Files for Bankruptcy, WWE Responds THQ, the publisher for WWE video games, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and has entered into an asset purchase agreement with a private investment firm. Clearlake Capital Group has agreed to enter a $60 million “stalking horse bid” for THQ’s assets, which allows other interested parties to come forward with competing bids. Any potential suitor for THQ would have to offer more than the bid entered by Clearlake. WWE released the following statement regarding the news: WWE is following the developments of THQ’s bankruptcy filing today and proposed sale under Bankruptcy Code Section 363. The Company anticipates actively participating within this proceeding. What this means for the WWE franchise is unknown at this point, but a partnership with EA Sports would be the logical choice if the license were to be moved.

WWE ‘13 is back with more of the same features from last year’s title, with the addition of a few gameplay tweaks, new customization options and the addition of Attitude Era mode.
