Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 8 Comments
Since we found out about WWE 2K18 for Switch, 2K Sports has kept Nintendo fans in the dark. The publisher hasn’t had a single update about the game since then. That’s caused all sorts of speculation due to retailers listing it in their circulars, online pre-orders being cancelled, and more.
The official WWE Twitter account says that Switch owners haven’t been forgotten. Additionally, news about a release date is “coming soon.” Until then, we’ll just have to wait for an announcement.
We haven’t forgotten about you, #NintendoSwitch fans! Info on the #WWE2K18 Switch release date is coming soon.
