2K has announced that legendary WWE commentator Jerry “The King” Lawler and NXT commentator Mauro Ranallo will be lending their charismatic tones to its forthcoming WWE 2K Battlegrounds title.
A much more arcade style affair than the WWE 2K simulation style titles of years past, WWE 2K Battlegrounds boasts characters with exaggerated proportions executing a range of gravity-defying moves on one another.
It looks like a spiritual sequel to the underrated WWE All Stars, and as such, we’re all in on that.
