Publisher 2K Sports has unveiled further details regarding the new story mode in this year’s highly anticipated title from the WWE franchise, WWE 2K15.
MyCareer, allowing users to journey with their superstar from rookie all the way to WWE World Heavyweight Championship, will change depending on the “Decisions made throughout the WWE developmental process,” meaning that personality traits and reactions from the crowd are based on the “alliances, rivalries and social media interactions” players make over the course of the story.
Additionally, players have the opportunity to unlock rewards in MyCareer the more they progress, including the ability to upgrade their attributes, skills and moves, new abilities, costumes and managers.
“MyCareer is a mode beloved by our NBA 2K fans and is a perfect fit for WWE 2K15,” said Greg Thomas, president of Visual Concepts. “We are eager to deliver a comprehensive career mode experience for the first time and consider its inclusion a critical step forward for the franchise.
The full details from MyCareer can be found in the press release below (minor spoilers are included):
“Players will begin MyCareer by taking characters they create in WWE 2K15’s Creation Suite to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. While there, they will be trained by former WWE Superstar and WWE Performance Center head coach Bill DeMott, as they navigate a series of objectives. Successful completion of the objectives will lead players to compete at NXT, WWE’s developmental system for rising young talent, where they will continue with matches and new objectives. At NXT, they will encounter a roster of new and future WWE Superstars, including Rusev, Bo Dallas, Adrian Neville, Sami Zayn and Corey Graves, all of whom will also be available as playable characters.
“After mastering their skills in NXT, players will move up to WWE’s main roster, where General Manager Vickie Guerrero will set matches and keep her Superstars focused through ultimatums designed to gain bonus rewards. Players will develop alliances and rivalries while competing to win spots on WWE pay-per-view events and flagship shows like Monday Night Raw and SmackDown. They will also compete for the United States Championship and Intercontinental Championship. Successful players will make their way to SummerSlam and WrestleMania, where the WWE World Heavyweight Championship will be on the line as the top MyCareer prize.”
WWE 2K15 will be released on October 28th in North America and October 31st in Europe for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, while the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions are scheduled for launch in November.
