WWE 2K18 is set to feature the largest in-game roster the franchise has seen. Last week, 47 playable WWE Superstars were unveiled in their first of four roster reveals. This week, IGN and 2K Games partnered once again to unearth an additional 37 playable characters ranging from various eras throughout the WWE’s history. Here is the list of all 37 Superstars:
- Bayley
- AJ Styles
- Brock Lesnar
- Randy Orton
- The Rock
- Triple H
- Becky Lynch
- The Miz
- Daniel Bryan
- Kurt Angle
- Bobby Roode
- Goldberg
- Ivory
- Edge
- Jey Uso
- Jimmy Uso
- Roman Reigns
- Tamina
- Kevin Von Erich
- Larry Zbyszko
- Maryse
- Mojo Rawley
- Earthquake
- Natalya
- Eddie Guerrero
- Shinsuke Nakamura
- Kerry Von Erich
- Godfather
- Mickie James
- Greg Valentine
- Brutus Beefcake
- Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart
- Zack Ryder
- John Cena
- Naomi
- Sasha Banks
- Ember Moon
Some of my hopes from last week’s reveal have become a reality as the “King of Strong Style” Shinsuke Nakamura, and the late Eddie Guerrero have made the cut for 2K Games’ latest addition to the wrestling franchise. Some of the aforementioned Superstars were previously revealed, albeit not in an official roster reveal.
In an interview with A.J. Styles, he mentioned his disappointment with his in-game character’s rating; Kurt Angle was announced as the pre-order bonus back in July. All I need is “The Demon King” Finn Bálor to get revealed, and my WWE 2K18 roster wishlist will be fulfilled.
Some other notable additions include current Raw Women’s Champion Sasha Banks, seven time World Heavy Weight Champion Edge, former NXT Champion Bobby Roode, and “The People’s Champion” The Rock. Last week, it was announced that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson would be curating the soundtrack for WWE 2K18.
Additionally, three in-game entrances were released showcasing the current Intercontinental Champion The Miz, Ember Moon, and former NXT Champion Bobby Roode (below). While all of them depict their entrances fairly well, only one can be deemed “glorious.” Can you take a guess at which one I’m referring too?
WWE 2K18 will launch on October 17 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The Nintendo Switch version will release at an unspecified date in the Fall of this year. Recently, DualShockers’ Al Zamora interviewed WWE Superstar Finn Bálor and WWE Legend Kurt Angle at a pre-SummerSlam WWE 2K18 event where they discussed 2K Games and their wrestling series.
