He might not be as well-remembered as The Ultimate Warrior, Sting, or The Terminator, but players who pre-order WWE 2K17 will get the chance to play as Bill Goldberg this October.
“After 12 years away from the business, I’m incredibly honored to work with WWE and 2K while following in the footsteps of such greats as Ultimate Warrior, Sting and Arnold Schwarzenegger,” said Goldberg. “My son was a big part of this coming together, and I can’t wait for him to see his dad kicking ass in a WWE ring through the magic of video games. I encountered the likes of The Rock, Triple H, Brock Lesnar, and Ric Flair during my WWE career, and now through WWE 2K17, I’ll be taking on the biggest and baddest Superstars of today – showing them once and for all that I am still ‘Da Man!’”
Goldberg was a star in both the WCW and WWE, so players who pre-order WWE 2K17 will be able to play as either of the wrestler’s personas. The pre-order bonus package will also include two arenas… WCW Monday Nitro and Halloween Havoc.
Once again developed collaboratively by Yuke’s and Visual Concepts, WWE 2K17 will be released for the PS4, Xbox One, PS3, and Xbox 360 this October.
