2K Games made a significant announcement at this week's Nintendo Direct: Nintendo Switch 2, confirming that both WWE 2K and NBA 2K games are actively in development for the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 hardware.

This marks a continued partnership between 2K Games and Nintendo, bringing two of the most popular sports gaming franchises to the next generation of Nintendo platforms. During the Nintendo Direct presentation, Lynell Jinks, creative director at 2K Games, and senior principal producer Ben Bishop, delivered the news directly to fans.

In their statement, Jinks and Bishop emphasized the excitement surrounding the upcoming titles, noting, "Our final announcement for today is that WWE 2K is coming to Nintendo Switch 2, plus NBA 2K as well.

We can’t wait to see you in the ring and on the court." The announcement underscores 2K Games’ commitment to delivering flagship experiences on the upcoming Nintendo system.

Both titles are scheduled for worldwide release in 2025, available both at physical retail outlets and as digital downloads via the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2. WWE 2K and NBA 2K are long-running series, consistently topping sales charts and earning praise for their deep gameplay and robust features.

NBA 2K, developed by Visual Concepts and published by 2K Games, remains one of the world’s best-selling sports simulation franchises, while the WWE 2K series, known for its authentic wrestling experience, has steadily evolved with new modes and expanded customization options. The arrival of these titles on Nintendo Switch 2 will continue to strengthen Nintendo’s software lineup and broaden the platform’s appeal among sports gaming enthusiasts.

Nintendo’s collaboration with 2K Games has previously brought entries like NBA 2K24 to the current Switch, and the upcoming releases will benefit from the enhanced hardware capabilities of the Nintendo Switch 2. Gamers anticipating the next chapter in these beloved franchises should watch for further updates from both Nintendo and 2K Games, as more details on gameplay, modes, and features are likely to emerge closer to launch.

For now, fans can mark their calendars for 2025, when WWE 2K and NBA 2K make their highly awaited debuts on Nintendo Switch 2, available both at retail and on the Nintendo eShop.
