The career modes of any sports games are becoming increasingly important. This is something 2K has always understood, especially when it comes to their premier sports game, NBA 2K. They're hoping that WWE 2K18 captures that same magic.

It's the latest roster reveal for WWE 2K18! Macho Man Randy Savage, Ricky The Dragon Steamboat, Razor Ramon and more! It also includes my favourite wrassler from WWE’s NXT brand: Asuka!

Last week saw the first roster reveal for WWE 2K18, which mixed a collection of current roster faces with superstars from yesteryear that made Geoff feel very, very old. Here’s week two then, which also has a few nostalgic names thrown in. Warning, there might be an Earthquake.

What WWE 2K18 has is one heck of a roster. IGN has revealed the game’s first 47 wrestlers in a video featuring Renee Young, Corey Graves and Goldust - which includes current and classic wrestlers like Bret Hart, The British Bulldog, Diesel, The Bushwackers , Bam Bam Bigelow and I think I’ve run out of names I actually recognise.

Hold onto your butts folks. Crap is about to get real, because Friday is kicking off with not one, but like, more than that but less than three in the screenshot department. WWE 2K17 may have been a watered down version of a game that showed promise the year before, but at least it was a stunner in the department of having digital mountains of muscle clash in a flesh collision. That’s a trend which WWE 2K18 looks to continue, as it revealed two screenshots of cover star Seth Rollins in action.

If I could get my hands on some iconic WWE merchandise, I’d gladly settle for Mick Foley’s missing ear or The Rock’s cookbook. That…probably won’t happen. What will happen alternatively though, is that I’d drop some cash on the WWE 2K18 collector’s edition quicker than that time I bought a month’s worth of New Day-endorsed Booty-Os. This year, WWE 2K18 is celebrating 15 years of John Cena’s career, with a collector’s edition that’ll be limited to around 30 000 units. This is what it apparently looks like, but I can’t see anything.

October 27 specifically is going to be an absolutely insane day for anyone who wants to choose just a single game to have on launch day. It’s pretty much like having a James Bond villain asking me which testicle I’d like to keep before he smashes in all three of them with a heavy knotted rope. Just look at the October schedule.

2K Games wants to avoid a repeat of last year's dismal WWE 2K17, with this year's WWE 2K18 sporting a new graphics engine and a host of other substantial enhancements in the ring and outside of it.
