WWE 2K22 leaks have been the only source of information about the upcoming game as of late, though official news is hopefully not far off.

Here’s everything we know about the latest WWE 2K22 leaks and what could be in store for fans when the title finally arrives at next year’s release date.

Latest – Cover Star & Editions leaked?

It looks like there’s been a major info leak for WWE 2K22. The Cover Star and multiple editions of the game have been leaked on Twitter. In-game content included in each edition has also been detailed.

This is not confirmed information and must be treated with caution until confirmed by the developer.

How will VC work in WWE 2K22?

With one of the most controversial WWE 2K22 leaks being the news that purchasable VC (Virtual Currency) will play a role in the title, there are big question about how it’ll actually be implemented.

We took a closer look here at some of the ways VC could be used in various game modes for WWE 2K22 and how those microtransactions could change the game.

It’s also now been teased that a new WWE 2K22 reveal is coming soon, and we’ve got more details here on when that will arrive.

WWE 2K22 Leaks reveal several in-game features

WWE 2K22 already had high expectations heading into a potential launch in October of this year, but any firm plans went by the wayside when the title was officially delayed.

WWE 2K20 was the last release in this core franchise by 2K Games and WWE, but it came out back on October 22, 2019.

We’re now more than two years on from that release, and the next WWE title looks set to arrive this March, and anticipation is only rising.

So far, the best legitimate look we’ve gotten at WWE 2K22 was the teaser trailer back in August that revealed the March 2022 release window.

Perhaps fueled by the hope that this game can deliver in a way the titles haven’t in recent years, and surely influenced by the delayed and relatively quiet development process, we’ve had a few significant WWE 2K22 leaks come out ahead of launch.

GM Mode returning according to two separate leaks

While there was heavy speculation that GM Mode could make a triumphant return in WWE 2K22, that all kicked into overdrive when AEW released AEW Elite GM on mobile phones.

It looks like the competition and the vocal fan desire for the return of GM Mode has finally paid off according to two leaks in the last few months.

Back on September 9, 2021, a report by SGO indicated that GM Mode “was a top priority” and stated “the fans clearly wanted it, and the team knew they had the ammo to get it approved and in.”

The same source went on to also tell SGO that “it’s going to become the most played mode in the game” and that GM Mode “will sell this game.”

Just over one month later, a tweet by industry insider Millie Amand seemed to confirm this as she said “WWE 2K22 will 100% have a Manager mode in which you the player will run the WWE.”

While Amand stated a reveal could happen at Survivor Series, a possibility later squashed by 2K, January reveals have been mentioned since the game was delayed and would make sense for a GM Mode reveal.

Roster Updates could replace DLC thanks to WWE releases

In what may turn out to be an ultimately positive step coming out of a negative, a report by SGO in early October indicated that planned DLC for WWE 2K22 was ru
ined by several WWE releases.

The report states that when WWE released multiple superstars, most notably Bronson Reed, these actions caused “at least two DLC packages” to be scrapped.

The potentially exciting silver lining is that in the same report 2K had apparently been floating the possibility of doing a Roster Updates service rather than releasing new WWE Superstars as DLC.

The Roster Update service is standard for most sports games, including 2K’s own NBA 2K22, and it would surely be a welcome addition to WWE 2K22 if confirmed.

Microtransactions may be most controversial leak yet

The most recent WWE 2K22 leak landed on October 26, 2021 and has all but confirmed the addition of major microtransactions to the title at launch.

VC, or Virtual Currency, is a mechanic used to purchase in-game content that 2K Games has used heavily in NBA 2K22 and uses to sell massive amounts of VC with expensive microtransactions.

This WWE 2K22 leak comes courtesy of game designer and analyst VikingSizeGamer, who spotted full illustrated renders for WWE 2K22 VC in a data dig.

The primary fear at this point for some fans is that this could signal a move to using VC for a competitive edge in online game modes, much the way it helps in NBA 2K22’s MyCAREER and MyTEAM modes.

While it’s possible these could instead be more focused on cosmetic upgrades, we’ll have to wait and see whether a new microtransactional focus becomes a final straw for some of those still hopeful about the release of WWE 2K22.
