WWE 2K16
With WWE 2K16 just a month away, it’s finally time for us to find out what the “campaign” looks like. Sure, create superstars and legendary matchups is great, but sometimes you just want to be the scrappy rookie trying to make a name for himself.
MyCareer mode starts you off in NXT (the WWE minor leagues), as you work towards becoming a champion. Once you’ve accomplished that goal, you can stick around and rule the ring or graduate to the main rosters.
The ultimate goal is to enter the Hall of Fame, but along the way, you’ll have milestones to accomplish. How you get to the Hall is up to you, and it doesn’t require championship runs. Being an entertaining mid-card star is a valid path to fame. All of that seems nice, but it’s how you shape your superstar’s personality and rivalries that caught my attention.
Being able to set up distractions (either the ref or superstars), drive rivalries by cutting promos, and ultimately mold yourself into the ideal face or worst heel sounds like what WWE fans have been looking for. You can check out the new trailer above and read our recent hands-on preview of this year’s Stone Cold Steve Austin showcase mode for more information.
WWE 2K16 will be out for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3 on October 27.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
