Rather than get lost in last week’s E3 scrum, 2K Games waited a week to announce that WWE 2K19 will be released for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One. This year, the wrestling sim will feature current WWE Champion AJ Styles on the cover.
“As a hardcore gamer and ambassador of everything it means to ‘Never Say Never’ in both my professional and personal life, it is a dream come true to be selected as the WWE 2K19 cover Superstar,” said AJ Styles. “From Seth Rollins last year to Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, John Cena, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Brock Lesnar, I am honored to join this incredible list of past WWE 2K cover Superstars and put my own unique stamp on the franchise.”
The publisher also confirmed that WWE 2K19 will be available in a Deluxe Edition om the PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The Deluxe Edition will include special packaging, and access to the Season Pass and other exclusive in-game content. Players who purchase the Deluxe Edition will also be able to begin playing the game on October 5.
A separate Collector’s Edition will also be released for the PS4 and Xbox One, and it’ll include everything from the Deluxe Edition (including the October 5 launch date), as well as “Premium Packaging,” exclusive and rare physical collectibles, and “Limited Edition” content for WWE SuperCard.
More information about the in-game content and physical collectibles found in the Deluxe Edition and Collector’s Edition will be announced later this Summer.
