2K Games, Visual Concepts, and WWE have never been coy when it comes to the sheer size of the roster insideWWE 2K22for players to get their hands on. At launch, the game came with 168 wrestlers to play as and has slowly been adding more with its post-launch content, such as theBanzai Pack DLC. The roster just grew a bit bigger with the release of the Most Wanted DLC pack, bringing five more legends and modern wrestlers to the game, including the most dangerous of Mick Foley’s three faces.
WWE 2K22is the ninth game as part of WWE’s long-running partnership with 2K Games, with Visual Concepts serving as the lead developer on the title. The game saw the return of a general manager mode in MyGM, giving players the chance to see how well they can bookRaw,SmackDown,NXT, orNXT UK. Other modes available include the revamped career mode MyRISE, the Showcase mode to relive moments in WWE history, and the new MyFACTION mode, giving players the chance to build and grow their own faction using card packs akin toNBA 2K’s player packs.

As mentioned, the Most Wanted DLC pack is now available for players to download and grow the roster a bit more with three of the hardest-hitting WWE stars in history, one of the creepiest, and a rising star fromNXT. Cactus Jack serves as the headlining star of this pack, letting players become the most dangerous ofMick Foley’s three different personas. He is joined by fellow legend and WWE Hall of Famer Vader,NXT UKstar Ilja Dragunov, the Boogeyman, andNXTstar Indi Hartwell.
It is fitting that the DLC pack bringing Cactus Jack to the game should featureVader, given the pair’s history from their days in WCW. Their rivalry in the early 90s is infamous for the series of physical matches the pair had, the most famous being their Texas death match atWCW Halloween Havocin 1993.
IfVisual Conceptswas looking for a hard-hitting modern wrestler to join them, there may be no better choice than Ilja Dragunov. Before signing with WWE, Dragunov was making massive waves on the European and American independent scenes thanks to his intense and physical style of wrestling against the likes of Cara Noir, Shingo Takagi, and WALTER. He would re-kindle his rivalry with WALTER inNXT UKwith two brutal matches for theNXT UKChampionship, with Dragunov finally claiming the title for his own atNXT Takeover 36and ending WALTER’s reign at 870 days.
WWE 2K22is currently available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
