With three more roster reveals set to be unveiled before the titles release, there should be a superstar everyone can enjoy. I am personally awaiting the reveal of my favorites Shinsuke Nakamura, Finn Balor, and the late Eddie Guerrero.
Additionally, a video showcasing the entrances of NXT stable SAnitY was revealed. Not only does it flaunt the accurate representation of the entrances in WWE 2K18, but the reworked graphics engine as well. Check out SAnitY’s entrance in the video below.
Back in June, it was revealed that “The Architect” Seth Rollins would be this year’s cover of WWE 2K18. Last month, 2K revealed a ton of information about the newest entry in the WWE 2K franchise including the aforementioned reworked graphics engine, improved gameplay, an improved Creation Suite, a new MyCAREER experience, and the brand new Road to Glory mode. Additionally, the Collector’s Edition — known as the Cena (Nuff) Edition — was detailed offering fans some cool memorabilia with their copy of the game.
WWE 2K18 is set to launch on October 17th this year for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Players who pre-order the game will receive two playable versions of Kurt Angle. Oh, it’s true!
