What is WWE 2K?
'''''WWE 2K''''' series is a series of [[video game]]s that are developed by [[Yuke's]] and [[Visual Concepts]] and are published by [[2K Sports]]. The video games are based on the [[professional wrestling]] company [[WWE]]. The series was first known as ''WWF/WWE SmackDown!'' from 2000 to 2004 and then was changed to ''WWE SmackDown vs. Raw'' in 2004. The title was changed to simply ''WWE'' in 2011 with the release of [[WWE '12]]. The ''WWE'' title was used for WWE '12 and [[WWE '13]] and was changed to ''WWE 2K'' when Take Two Interactive acquired the publishing rights for the series from THQ. In [[Japan]], the series was known as ''Exciting Pro Wrestling'' until 2005. The series has gained positive reviews over the years and is one of the best-selling video game franchises. The series was published by [[THQ]] from 2000 to 2013 before THQ filed for [[Bankrupt|bankruptcy]] on December 19, 2012. THQ's [[assets]] were auctioned off and the WWE video game's publishing rights were acquired by [[Take Two Interactive]] ([[Holding company|Parent company]] of [[2K Games]]).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ca.ign.com/articles/2013/01/23/wwe-video-game-license-to-be-acquired-by-take-two|accessdate=January 23, 2013|title=WWE Video Game License to be Acquired by Take Two|publisher=[[IGN]]}}</ref> == Games == * ''[[WWF SmackDown!]]'' ([[PlayStation|PS]]) ([[2000]]) * ''[[WWF SmackDown! 2: Know Your Role]]'' ([[PlayStation|PS]]) ([[2000]]) * ''[[WWF SmackDown!
