Take-Two Confirm WWE 2K14 Release Date

Take-Two has revealed that their recent acquisition of the WWE license will debut under the 2K banner, this October.

Confirmed to be released on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, WWE 2K14 will be available at US retail on October 29. No European release date has been set, but in all likelihood, it will be available to EU based folk on the following Friday.

After the fallout of the THQ auction, Take-Two were in negotiations with WWE themselves, THQ and the devloper Yuke’s to seal the deal as the license to the popular pro-wrestling series was not part of the auction.

This current deal between World Wrestling Entertainment and Take-Two will see WWE titles being published under the 2K Sports umbrella for the next five years and the series will still be developed by long standing wrestling game studio, Yuke’s.

Whilst the on-air product just goes further and further downhill, you can guarantee that the same people that bought WWE ’13, will be picking up WWE 2K14. You can say what you like about pro-wrestling fanatics – they are loyal.
