Recommended Posts

If you go to visual concepts website at vcentertainment.com/us/ 

than go to the careers page and search wwe

you will get 4 job listings, select the listing AI Software Engineer 

Inside the job listing at the vary bottom of the Minimum Requirements it reads Unreal Engine Experience Is Strongly Preferred

Now honestly I don't know what to think about it, but there maybe a clue here that wwe 2k18 might be getting developed on the Unreal Engine 4... Share your thoughts below!!!!

Doubt it... It's probably listed because the knowledge of UE can easily be used in other things. Kinda like knowing MS Office lol... Also doubt they'd use UE for a game that's not really the priority of 2K sports. I hope I'm wrong though. Unreal Engine would be visually amazing and probably make this game easier to mod.

It could very well be that they are working on switching to Unreal Engine 4 in the future, as the series could use a complete rework to finally get rid of all the old baggage and limitations with a new engine and UE isn't a bad choice. I highly doubt it will happen 2k18, though. Games take time to develop. Maybe for the 2020 version at earliest.

it's no secret i've been one of the most judgemental fans of 2k but to say that wwegames isn't a priority is a bit much. especially al the info and intel i've gotten from that new 2k Liason guy. he's given alot of info as far as how the feedback projects are looked at and such. so i wouldn't lose my faith just yet

As fun as it is to think this is regarding the wwe games series, this can mean anything. Other game franchises or even a new IP.

Did you not look it clearly says

AI SOFTWARE ENGINEER-WWE 2K

Which clearly means this job posting is indeed for the wwe 2k series....

I'd imagine a $5,000 salary at minimum with those minimum requirements. Jeez

 

would be cool if it were on UE4. But let's wait and see what this game looks like. People who've seen gameplay say the upgrade is dramatic.

         Lets restart the conversation... So it looks like yukes is already confirmed to be working on atleast one project using the unreal engine 4..... Its Earth Defense Force Iron Rain.

   https://www.forbes.com/sites/olliebarder/2017/09/19/earth-defense-force-iron-rain-is-looking-very-good-and-this-time-yukes-is-behind-the-wheel/#de7cea15dd01

        And forbes is talking about how great the game is...

        So my question is can this be used as proof that if wwe2k is moving to unreal engine 4 in future titles that it doesn't necessarily mean that yukes would be leaving the wwe2k series. Also can this be used as more evidence this is happening. I mean look now I have found 2 peaces of evidence one from the visual concepts job search and now yukes is using it on another game. I think yukes and visual concepts are making a wwe2k game on unreal engine 4 but are not going to release it until they feel it is ready. Im still doing more research so maybe ill dig up more evidence.
