Finally, there’s some confirmation of WWE 2K20 being real, thanks to an announcement of an upcoming announcement and no I’m not making this up. 2K dropped an entire TWO new screenshots for the upcoming wrestlefest, which may be about as surprising as a Big Show Heel/Face turn. So if you wanted to see the doctor of huganomics and the beast incarnate rendered in the 2K style, here you go!

Last night saw plenty of attention suddenly thrust towards Sony and Take Two Interactive, as a rumour began circulating around the web that the Japanese giant was looking to spend an unreal amount of cash on the publisher. That proposed mega-merger? It ain’t happening.

Back in June 2018, President of video game giant 2K David Ismailer told Variety that he wanted to double the publisher’s title collection in size over the next five years. An ambitious notion, as 2K has garnered a reputation for sparing no sympathy for under-performing studios. There is now news on that front, and it concerns the co-founder of Sledgehammer …

For a franchise that was knocking on death’s door a mere decade ago, fighting games have certainly come a long way in the last couple of years. 2018 may go down in history as one of the finest year’s for the genre, as the pickings may have been slim but the games on offer were benchmarks in two-fisted action. Here’s a look at the best that the genre had to offer, as well as 2018’s overall king of the ring.

It’s not perfect, but WWE 2K19 is a massive return to fun form that focuses on what truly matters inside the iconic ring and delivers a pulse-pounding thrill ride that finally feels like a showcase of the immortals.

One aspect of the 2K Games series that hasn’t changed much this year? The superb character creation tool, which is instead a tweaked and perfected version of the suite of options found in each WWE 2K game. The best part of the feature? It’s comprehensive, massive in the options available and you’re able to put your own face inside the game. If you need a crash course reminder in how to upload your face, then Bombshell Bonthuys is more than ready to school you in the fine art of uploading the perfectly punchable face in WWE 2K19.

2K wants to change the perspective of MyCareer mode being more painful to play in their WWE games than spending an hour with Mr Socko driven down your throat, and to do that they’re aiming at doing something that has never been done before in one of their WWE games: They’re going to try and make it fun.

2K is notorious for its egregious DLC, and WWE2K is no different. The thing that I find most disagreeable is locking fan-favourite moves for custom characters behind a paywall. Want Jeff Hardy’s Atomic Drop into Double Leg Combo? Tyler Bate’s Exploder vs. Opponent on the Apron? Mustafa Ali’s Slingshot X-Factor? Well, cough up, bucko!
