Wrasslin’ is big business, as are the videogames made to simulate the best in sports entertainment. 2K’s been at the helm of WWE games for the past couple of years, with NBA 2K developer Visual Concepts working in conjunction with stalwart WWE maker Yukes to craft the game.
They haven’t been great games, but I’m looking forward to this latest one, primarily because the blasted reversal system’s finally been tweaked – which should make it a little less about lightning fast reflexes and guesswork, and make it a little more skilful.
The game, as is the norm for games of its ilk, will get a host of downloadable content, and yes, a season pass. What’s coming to the game though?
Accelerator
• Players will gain instant access to all unlockable content available in the game (excluding downloadable content);
• The Accelerator will be available for a suggested price of $1.99.
MyPlayer KickStart (PS4™ system and Xbox One Exclusive)
• Players will gain instant access to boost created Superstar ratings and attributes in the game’s MyCareer mode;
• MyPlayer KickStart will be available for a suggested price of $9.99.
Legends Pack
• Playable WWE Legends: Big Boss Man, Dusty Rhodes, Lita, Mr. Perfect, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper and Trish Stratus;
• The Legends Pack will be available for a suggested price of $8.99.

Future Stars Pack
• Playable NXT Superstars: Samoa Joe, Diego, Fernando, Blake and Murphy;

The season pass, as you’d imagine, gives you all of this content other than the MyPlayer Kickstart for a discounted price. Pay just $24.99 for :

- Legends Pack;2015 Hall of Fame Showcase

Wow, that is a lot of “extra” content…some of which should actually be un-lockable in the game without spending moneys…
