2K Sports Reveals "WWE 2K20" Cover Art And Trailers
Even though it got leaked yesterday, 2K Sports revealed the proper cover and trailers for WWE 2K20 and the special edition of the game on the way. The company has decided to put Becky Lynch and Roman Reigns on the cover of the Deluxe Edition box, and have released an image of the Collector's Edition, which you can see below. We have the full details of both versions of the game below, as well as some quotes from the company about the series and the latest incarnation. WWE 2K20 will be released on October 22nd for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
WWE 2K20, in direct response to fan feedback, will include several franchise firsts alongside streamlined gameplay and a variety of popular modes. The story-driven, objective-based 2K Showcase: The Women's Evolution will follow the careers of the Four Horsewomen – Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch, SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley, Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks. Controls will be streamlined to allow new players to jump into the game more easily, while experienced players will still enjoy a challenge.
In addition, WWE 2K20 players will be able to compete as both male and female Superstars in MyCAREER and Mixed Tag matches, while last year's popular WWE Towers returns with exciting new challenges, including a story-driven Tower centered around the career of Roman Reigns.
The game will also introduce a new service model – WWE 2K20 Originals – set to deliver a wealth of 2K Showcase add-on content for player exploration beyond the game's initial launch. Each of the WWE 2K20 Originals will present a new playable world and its own unique theme, with more details to be announced in the coming months. WWE 2K20 Originals is downloadable content that may require additional purchase.
"Becky Lynch and Roman Reigns embody passion, determination and perseverance, and they're both major game changers within the larger WWE landscape," said Chris Snyder, Vice President of Marketing for 2K. "They are the spirit of WWE 2K20, which is going to introduce changes requested by our fans. They asked for female-driven MyCAREER and 2K Showcase offerings, and we're giving them just that, as well as streamlined controls and our brand new WWE 2K20 Originals. We can't wait to reveal more details soon."
