2K delays PS4/Xbox One version of WWE 2K15 to November 18
You’re going to have to wait a bit longer to slam WWE 2K15 into your PS4 or Xbox One. 2K Games has announced that the next-generation version of the wrestling title has been delayed. It will now be released on November 18, three weeks after its original October 28 release date.
WWE 2K15 will be the first game in the pro wrestling franchise to appear on the PS4 and Xbox One. No specific reason was given for the delay, though Visual Concepts’ Greg Thomas did say that the development team needed more time “to ensure the WWE 2K15 next-gen experience fully meets our expectations.”
However, there is some good news. The PS3/Xbox 360 version of WWE 2K15 has not been delayed and will be released as scheduled on October 28.
From Parts Unknown… here is the WWE 2K15 roster
SummerSlam is just a few hours away, but yesterday was an equally important day for the WWE. On Saturday, the WWE and 2K Games revealed the roster for this October’s WWE 2K15.
The roster features a lot of familiar names including The Undertaker, John Cena, Triple H, Kane, and Shawn Michaels. But the roster also includes several unexpected names such as CM Punk, who “retired” from the WWE earlier this year. Is his inclusion a spoiler for a future WWE storyline, or does the company just want to squeeze one last appearance out of one of its biggest stars?
WWE 2K15 will be released for the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One on October 18. You can find the full roster (which the WWE and 2K both stress as “not final,” so it’s subject to change) after the break. (more…)
WWE 2K15 campaign will focus on rivalries with 2K Showcase mode
The past few iterations of the WWE games have featured a very rich story mode, and WWE 2K15 will be no different. 2K Games announced that the upcoming title’s 2K Showcase mode will feature two of the greatest rivalries in WWE history: the HHH / Shawn Michaels feud from 2002 to 2004, and John Cena’s rivalry with former WWE star CM Punk, which lasted from 2011 to 2013.
Chris Snyder, Vice President of Marketing at 2K Games, had this to say about the Showcase Mode: “No fan can deny the fierce competition marking the notorious battles waged between Cena and Punk. These two rivalries are firmly etched in WWE history, and 2K Showcase enables fans to take part in those memorable experiences.”
The 2K Showcase mode will span 33 matches, and will be presented documentary-style, complete with classic footage and sampled audio from the matches. Furthermore, additional famous rivalries will be available as DLC after the game launches on October 28th.
For those of you who just can’t wait to relive these feuds, here’s a picture of CM Punk and John Cena after the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Boston Bruins for the Stanley Cup.

Sting will make his WWE debut in WWE 2K15 as a pre-order bonus
Sting, the face of the WCW in the 90s, will make his WWE debut in this Fall’s WWE 2K15. Players who pre-order the game will actually receive two different versions of Sting, representing two distinct eras of his career:
One of the most popular and revered competitors in WCW history, Sting will be featured in WWE 2K15 through two unique playable characters: the mysterious, ghost-like persona with trademark black and white face paint who was the face of WCW during the “Monday Night War” era, as well as his earlier look, sporting bright colors and a blond, flattop hairstyle
Sting had been a part of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling since 2003, but appeared in a WWE production in April to honor Ultimate Warrior. It’s unknown when he’ll make his in-ring debut during a WWE show.
WWE 2K15 will be released for the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One on October 28.
You can see John Cena on the cover of WWE 2K15 this October
2K Games and the WWE have announced that John Cena will appear on the cover of the upcoming WWE 2K15 (cue the groans from wrestling fans who can’t stand Cena).
Cena starred in a promotional video to help with the announcement and the wrestler revealed that he’ll be working closely with 2K to “put my own little touches on the game.” We don’t yet know what those “little touches” are, but hopefully we’ll find out soon. You can watch the video for yourself after the break.
WWE 2K15 is in development at Yukes and Visual Concepts and will be released for the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One on October 28. (more…)
WWE 2K15 bodyslams PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360 on October 28
Last week, WWE 2K15 was tagged with a “Fiscal 2015” release date by Take-Two Interactive in their quarterly financial report. Most of the other games were given a “Fall 2014” designation and many were worried that the different release window meant that WWE 2K15 would launch at the end of Take-Two’s fiscal year, which falls on March 31, 2015.
But never fear, the company’s “WWE Games” Twitter account set the record straight and WWE 2K15 will definitely be released thisyear:

WWE 2K15 is believed to be in development at Yuke’s, but Take-Two hasn’t officially revealed anything about the game beyond the information in the tweet above.
NBA 2K15, WWE 2K15 to be released for next-gen this Fall; GTA V on PC still MIA
2K Games has announced that NBA 2K15 and WWE 2K15 are currently in development for release next Fall on next-generation consoles. It’s currently unknown if either game will also be released for last-generation systems like the PS3 or the Xbox 360, but Karl Slatoff, the President of Take Two Interactive, revealed that it’s a very real possibility during the company’s quarterly conference call:
“In terms of the old gen versus new gen question, I would say that any of our announcements that we have made to date don’t necessarily reflect our plans whether something is going to be specifically for next get or old gen. It really is more a function of what we have announced, what platforms we have announced that they are going to be on at this point. […] We have haven’t said anything about our NBA titles — our sports titles — but for next gen platforms. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that we are not going on current gen, rather we are going on current gen, it’s not related at this point. It just means we haven’t had anything to share.”
Slatoff also shot down all the Grand Theft Auto V on PC rumors, saying, “At this point there is really nothing for us to say about that.”
Hopefully, the time to say something “about that” will be soon.
