WWE 2k17: What We Know So Far

If you’re a gamer and especially a wrestling fan, to say these games have been a rollercoaster is an understatement. One year it’s amazing and then the next year the game sucks. I feel every time I enjoy the game, nobody else does, and vice-versa. This year’s game will be on close watch after last year’s game didn’t do so well. I enjoyed it, but a lot of complaints came from the new button system and the length of career mode. The folks at 2K have ramped up on the pre-order editions, releasing an NXT version, which is honestly one of the best bonuses I have seen in a while. If you only pre-order the game, you will receive, one of my favorites, Bill Goldberg as a playable character. BUT if you pre-order the NXT edition this what you get………

NXT Edition Pre-Order
*NXT Enhancement Pack
*Exclusive Canvas2Canvas lithograph autographed by NXT Superstar Shinsuke Nakamura
*Exclusive eight-inch “Demon” Finn Balor collectible figurine
*One Exclusive Topps NXT TakeOver: London Mat Relics card – Includes a piece of authentic ring canvas from the event
*Goldberg Pre-order Pack

If you have been buying games for years like I have, this is definitely worth the extra money compared to other games! Pre-Order fast because they are selling out!

As far as the roster goes, ign.com will be releasing these type of easter egg, cryptic photos to announce the roster!

If you look closely you can try to figure out exactly who the names will be. Below is a list of the names confirmed so far in this year’s game:

Brock Lesnar
Sasha Banks
Shinsuke Nakamura
Nia Jax
Apollo Crews
Brie Bella
Nikki Bella
Jimmy Uso
Jey Uso
Goldberg (Pre-Order)
Ultimate Warrior
Shane McMahon
Stephanie McMahon
Vince McMahon
R-Truth
Heath Slater
Brian Pillman
Booker T
Aiden English
Simon Gotch
Larry Zbysko
Konnor
Viktor
Epico 
Primo
John Cena
Jim Neidhart

Now of course since Finn Balor has a statue, he is more than likely in the game, along with your obvious top superstars. Over time ign.com will slowly reveal the roster up until the release date of October 11, 2016. It is very possible the roster can contain over 100+ superstars with some names like Bayley sure to make the cut. Not many details have been revealed about the gameplay or game modes, but with the high-demand and wrestling recently trying to maximize the audience, I don’t see how they can put out a crappy game this year. I will be in-line getting the game when it comes out, praying that this year’s game, does the real true wrestling fans justice!
