A recent WWE financial call has revealed the existence of an upcoming wrestling-based RPG game, which will be officially announced "soon".

In addition to this statement, McMahon also shared satisfaction for the relaunch of the WWE 2K series, after the company recently skipped a year's release.

"After taking a little more than a year off to improve the game engine, we worked hand in glove with our partners that take to interactive, listen to our customers and fans and earned back their trust by delivering a game that exceeded their expectations," she said.

"WWE 2K22 was a commercial and critical success with the highest Metacritic scores on both Xbox and PlayStation platforms in franchise history with over 5.6m hours viewed on Twitch to date."

McMahon concluded: "Gaming is a priority for WWE to reach our next-gen audience with over 80 percent of WWE's audience self-identifying as gamers."

While when the announcement will be made official is not clear, WWE wrestler Austin Creed, or Xavier Woods as some may know him, did offer up a cheeky winking gif on Twitter when wrestler and journalist Simon Miller shared the news online.
