WWE 2K Battlegrounds will also have “eight unique Battlegrounds environments which will play a huge part in the action”.

According to the company and the recently released trailer, players will be able to smash opponents with cars and throw them into the jaws of a hungry alligator. The WWE 2K Battlegrounds will also feature in-depth customisation, meaning players will be able to customise their own arenas, build their own and unique WWE superstars with different body types and sizes, facial features, clothing, hair and fighting styles.
