Plans of a game for the promotion were reported as early as October 2019 and officially announced in November 2020, with the game being the first wrestling game developed by Yuke's since 2018 with ''[[WWE 2K19]]'', before the studio ended its working relationship with [[WWE]]. The game is heavily inspired by previous console generations of wrestling games, particularly ''[[WWF No Mercy (video game)|WWF No Mercy]]'' for the [[Nintendo 64]], with an arcade-style of gameplay with exaggerated wrestler appearances and presentation, as opposed to a more realistic simulation style of the developer's most recent previous wrestling games.
The game was released on June 29, 2023, for [[PlayStation 4]], [[PlayStation 5]], [[Microsoft Windows]], [[Xbox One]], [[Xbox Series X/S]], and [[Nintendo Switch]] and received mixed reviews, being praised for its throwback style of arcade gameplay, but criticized for limited presentation, modes, and customization.
