WWE 2K18 Nintendo Switch Release Date Revealed by 2K Sports

Written by Brandon Hofer on December 04, 2017

News: Nintendo Switch owners are finally going to be able to get their hands on WWE 2K18 this month.

WWE 2K18 was released in October for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. 2K Sports promised that the Switch version would release this fall but they wouldn’t give a concrete date. That changed earlier today when 2K Sports announced that WWE 2K18 for the Nintendo Switch will arrive in just two days on December 6. The Nintendo Switch version of WWE 2K18 will offer the following:

All of the series’ biggest modes, including MyCareer, Road to Glory, customizable Universe Mode, online play, local multiplayer and the dynamic Creation Suite.

New features, including the new grapple carry system, new weight detection, thousands of new animations, a massive backstage area, the biggest roster ever and up to six characters onscreen at once, as well as the ability to play on TV or in handheld mode with up to four people in online and local multiplayer.

For those who have pre-ordered the Nintendo Switch version, two playable versions of WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle: his WWE “American Hero” persona (2001) and his ECW “Wrestling Machine” persona (2006). Digital WWE 2K18 customers will be able to download the Kurt Angle pack at no additional cost through December 13, 2017.
