We learned back in May that NBA 2K18 would be coming to the Switch, and today we are happy that another staple sports franchise from the same developer will be making the jump to Nintendo as well. If you’re a fan of the WWE games or not, this is delightful news. One of the biggest concerns fans had about the Nintendo Switch was how third-party support would shake out. It’s great to see more and more publishers step forward and put their support behind the system.

WWE 2K18 will land on PS4, XB1, and Nintendo Switch consoles on October 17, 2017. Available for pre-order now.
