King Xavier Woods On Hopes For WWE 2K22: I Hope Everything Runs Smooth And That It's Good

Xavier Woods wants everything to go well with WWE 2K22.

After taking a year off from its signature 2K series, WWE and 2K Games will return with a new installment of the game in March 2022 with WWE 2K22.

WWE 2K21 was canceled due to the poor reception to the bug-littered release of WWE 2K20 in 2019.

Speaking to Graham GSM Matthews of Bleacher Report, Xavier Woods gave his expectations for the game.

"I hope that everything runs smooth and that it's good," he said. "My thing is, I obviously have no part in making the game, I'm on the wrestling side of things. But I definitely have a stake in it because I am in it and it's a wrestling game for the company that I am an independent contractor for. I'm pumped because everyone on the 2K team seems very excited about things and things seem promising. I can only keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best when it finally releases. I'm hoping this game brings back that equity with the gamer fans because I know it was hard to play some of them, to be honest. They all have their good things and their great aspects, but as far as a fun video game is concerned, sometimes I'm just looking for that and I feel like the learning curve got a little intense. On this one, they said there's remastered controls and all that stuff and I feel good about it. So, like I said, fingers crossed."

WWE and 2K have hyped the return of GM Mode with MyGM along with a redesigned gameplay engine, new controls, and more. You can view a list of the new features by clicking here.

Woods helps WWE on the gaming side not only with his UpUpDownDown Channel, which is currently stalled on content due to a dispute, but also by hosting on G4.
