WWE: Day of Reckoning 3

WWE: Day of Reckoning 3 is a wrestling video game developed by Yuke's and published by Bandai Namco Sports. The game is the sequel to the Gamecube-exclusive WWE: Day of Reckoning duology and released on October 12, 2020 in North America and Japan and October 14, 2020 in Europe for exclusively for the Nintendo Switch. The cover features Becky Lynch and "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt on the cover and is the first game to be published by Bandai Namco Entertainment after 2K loses the WWE gaming rights due to the very poor reception of WWE 2K20.

Gameplay
Unlike the WWE 2K games, Day of Reckoning 3 returns to the fast-paced gameplay of its predecessors notably like Smackdown! Here Comes the Pain and afromentioned Day of Reckoning duology, departing the simulation style of its 2K predecessors. Players are able to select a variety of 90 wrestlers (with 60 more that can be bought from the WWE.com shop and like WCW Nitro there are even 30 characters that are from numerous media that can be unlocked) or the wrestlers created in the Create-a-Wrestler. Players then choose a range of arenas to wrestle on. Stealing finishers made a big return after sole appearance in Smackdown! Shut your Mouth

Matches can be customized to have count outs, disqualifications, or falls count anywhere. Fighting Matches usually do not have count outs or disqualifications, but Wrestling Matches do. Certain matches can be set to be won by getting a briefcase/title off of the top of a ladder, putting an opponent through a table, or escaping a steel cage or Hell in a Cell.

Story
The Story mode takes place fourteen years after the events of the first two WWE Day of Reckoning games. The player (as two created wrestlers from Create-a-Wrestler for male and female) has to do a progression from the start as Jobbers, working on house shows, then on the independent shows, then finally joining WWE; starting at NXT, then Raw, then Smackdown up until to the Wrestlemania.

From here, the player would continue to increase their popularity until they reach a certain rank and reach popularity levels required to compete for a title.
