WWE 2K22 will be available on March 11, 2022. The new wrestling title also wants to convince with its soundtrack – and Machine Gun Kelly has been brought on board for this.
2K announced today that it has secured the services of the famous musician and actor to install him as Executive Soundtrack Producer for WWE 2K22. The longtime WWE fan works in the music, film and fashion industries and has handpicked individual tracks for this year’s wrestling title.
Specifically, you can look forward to the following songs as part of the background music:
- Machine Gun Kelly – “Concert for Aliens”
- Machine Gun Kelly ft. YUNGBLUD & Bert McCracken – “Body Bag”
- Wu Tang Clan – “Protect Ya Neck”
- Motorhead – “Iron Fist”
- Poppy – “Say Cheese” (Live NXT-Version)
- Royal Blood – “Typhoons”
- Bring Me The Horizon – “Happy Song”
- The Weeknd – “Heartless”
- Turnstile – “I Don’t Wanna Be Blind”
- Asking Alexandria – “The Final Episode (Let’s Change the Channel)”
- KennyHoopla – “Hollywood Sucks”
Detached from the music, Machine Gun Kelly will also appear as a playable character in the title. After the release of the main game, there should be a DLC that brings the corresponding wrestler with it.
Commenting on today’s soundtrack announcement, WWE Music Group Senior Vice President and General Manager Neil Lawi said, “Machine Gun Kelly has been an important part of the WWE family for over a decade, with gigs at WrestleMania and Tribute to the Troops, its soundtracks at our live events and multiple appearances in the storyline of the WWE games. He has put together a unique soundtrack for WWE 2K22 that not only features his own songs, but also features a diverse mix of artists from The Weeknd to KennyHoopla. The 12th Track’s comprehensive soundtrack is the perfect accompaniment to the new edition’s enhanced gameplay.”
WWE 2K22 will be available on March 11, 2022 for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One.
