Today, 2K and WWE announced an extension to their contract that will see 2K developing WWE titles until at least uh... huh. Well, it seems as though this press release doesn't actually say how long the contract has been extended for outside of it being a "multi-year extension." I'm going to guess it's around three years.-- 2K and WWE® (NYSE:WWE) today announced that the companies have extended their partnership with a new multi-year exclusive agreement granting 2K the worldwide rights to develop and publish WWE video game properties across all major platforms and distribution channels. WWE® 2K, the simulation-based flagship series developed by 2K's Visual Concepts studio and Yuke's, will continue a successful 18-year tradition established by past WWE titles, including the recently released WWE® 2K16. In addition, 2K will continue to invest in WWE® SuperCard, the breakout hit card-battling game developed by its Cat Daddy Games studio, which has been downloaded more than nine million times since its initial release. Financial terms of the new agreement were not disclosed.
"2K's partnership with WWE over the past three years has resulted in a successful and important addition to the Company's portfolio of profitable franchises," said David Ismailer, Chief Operating Officer for 2K. "We are thrilled with the positive momentum of the WWE 2K series, including generating year-over-year growth, as well as the success of WWE SuperCard. We are very pleased to extend our partnership with WWE and look forward to many more years of collaboration."

Man, this press release didn't even come with any great pictures to use. I'll have to go find one and stick it up at the beginning. You'll all already know what the image is, but while I'm typing this, it's all still a mystery!
