WWE 2K Battlegrounds is a unique professional wrestling game. In many ways, it’s a breath of fresh air compared to the realism-focused annual WWE 2K series, since Battlegrounds has more stylized visuals and gameplay. But Battlegrounds has perhaps pushed a bit too far in one of its upcoming updates. Battlegrounds devs say they are going to add a wrestler that’s now a part of WWE competitor AEW: Sting.
