WWE 2K’s Community: Connecting Wrestling Fans through Gaming
The WWE 2K series has been facilitating online play since WWE 2K14’s launch in 2013. With the release of each new installment, the online community has seen steady growth. This community is home to millions of wrestling fans around the world who come together to share their passion for the sport and compete against one another in both exhibition matches and tournaments.
The dedicated WWE 2K modding community has also grown in tandem. Modders create custom logos, arenas and gameplay edits, turning an already expansive series into a vast hub of WWE content. Each year, the gaming experience is elevated by the innovative modifications provided by the community.
The WWE 2K series has remained relevant throughout the years for more than just its content. It also provides a platform for fans to engage in a discourse on wrestling and gaming, and get the latest WWE news. This is most evident in WWE 2K’s thriving Discord channel.
Discord is a voice and text chat app, allowing players to communicate with one another and create custom groups. There are a multitude of Discord servers dedicated to the WWE 2K community, giving players an easy way to form a local community and enjoy games with friends.
The WWE 2K Discord community is a continually virtuous cycle. As new members join, the community grows larger and more active, driving up discussion and motivation. These organic connections stick, and many users go on to forge long lasting friendships, thanks in part to the safe and comfortable gaming environment created by WWE 2K.
It’s clear that the WWE 2K series has helped bring wrestling fans together from all corners of the world. Through the connection of the virtual and real world, players are able to share their interest, victories, defeats and accomplishments in a positive and supportive community.
