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.

An updated packaging image for the Switch version of WWE 2K18 confirms a download requirement for the physical version. If you plan on picking the game up, you’ll need 24GB of free space for an extra download.

Extra downloads for physical releases of Switch games are starting to become more common. Just a few hours ago, we heard about something similar with L.A. Noire. Doom will also have a separate download for multiplayer.

Nintendo’s website listing for WWE 2K18 offers up some new information about the game’s download. Similar to 2K Sports’ other recent title 2K18, you’ll need quite a bit of free space.

The digital version of WWE 2K18 requires a microSD card with at least 32GB of free space. That’s in addition to 1GB on the system memory. The microSD card has to be inserted before beginning the download.

We still don’t actually know when WWE 2K18 is heading to Switch. Thus far, 2K has only said we can expect it sometime this fall.

– Late 90’s Filter
– 1990’s Filter

WWE 2K18 is partnering with KFC in a somewhat strange way. In the game, players will be able to create a custom character based on Colonel Sanders. Sanders, of course, is the founder of the fast food chain restaurant and is essentially the official mascot.

Here’s a video promoting the partnership:

Since the week that WWE 2K18 was announced for Switch, 2K has only committed to a general “Fall 2017” release. However, some had hoped that it would be out later this month alongside other platforms. This was somewhat due to marketing materials that surfaced at stores over the past few days pointing to the Switch edition possible landing on October 17.

For its part, the “Fall 2017” release window still sticks. 2K is not giving a more specific launch timing beyond that.

The official WWE gaming Twitter account reconfirms:
