WWE 2K WWE 2K is a series that has more than 20 professional wrestling video games that are currently developed by Visual Concepts and Yuke's, and it was later published by 2K Sports. These series of games are based on the professional wrestling promotion WWE, which features the professional wrestling match types, storylines, and playable characters based on WWE programming. The series was originally named "SmackDown!", after WWE's own "SmackDown" television program. The first release in the series was "WWF SmackDown!" in March 2000, which along with these subsequent titles, remained exclusive to Sony's PlayStation consoles. After the brand extension, the series was retitled "SmackDown! vs. Raw" in 2004, to indicate the "Raw" brand was also featured. Within a few years, the series had expanded to a yearly release cycle for various seventh-generation consoles as well as mobile devices. Yuke's had also released the games in Japan under the name of "Exciting Pro Wrestling". However, after "SmackDown! vs. Raw 2006", THQ took over as the Japanese publisher and the Japanese releases adopted the western name. The series was later renamed as just simply "WWE", starting from 2011 and 2012.
