By the end of this month, Wrestling fans from all over the world will be able to play as their favorite wrestlers when WWE 2K16 is released. According to sources, this new video game is scheduled to be released on the 27th of October in North America and everywhere else within the next couple of days. For those that are interested in checking the game out, there is availability for the Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Xbox 360 and the Xbox One for now.
This will be the seventeenth installment to the WWE video game series, but just the third under the “WWE 2K” name. It will be a direct follow up of the WWE 2K15 that was released last year. If you have been waiting for the game, then you might have been aware of the announcement back in June of this year that it would be released this month. Loyal WWE fans will be very pleased, according to early reviews of the game.
During that announcement in June, it was revealed that there would be six Superstars and Divas in the game. Just one month later, it was announced that Steve Austin was the cover Superstar for WWE 2K16 and that is when the internet went crazy. Wrestling fans all over the internet were trying to find a way to pre-order the game. The rumors and speculation about other characters being in the game did not take long to hit the net.
Just a few weeks later, it was announced that not just one, but both of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s T-800 Terminator versions will be playable in the game. For those that were waiting around for the pre-order, the Terminator is another reason to get in line since that is going to be held as a pre-order exclusive for the game. Once the information started to flow, it was evident that fans wanted more so the studio released the first screenshot of the game.
It clearly showed the announcer table with none other than John “Bradshaw” Layfield’s cowboy hat sitting on it. All in all, it looks like WWE 2K16 is shaping up to be a great game for wrestling fans. Just like with every other game these days, the big news comes when the expansion packs are revealed. Most of the expansions these days comes as downloadable content packs, or DLC and that is the same for WWE 2K16. According to at least one online source, there will be new DLC, as well as new characters for the game. The game already has more than 120 characters that you can wrestle with, but for those that think that is not enough, six DLC packs have been scheduled at this time.
