Eighteen more World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Superstars have now been officially confirmed to be part of the upcoming "WWE 2K16" game.

This week's batch of new additions includes a multi-time World Champion, an influential WWE Hall of Famer and a bevy of other former World Champions and roster mainstays, according to IGN.

Leading off is none other than WWE Superstar Randy Orton. Orton has been a staple of WWE television in recent years. Orton also has the distinction of being the first ever WWE World Heavyweight Champion after he won a unification bout with John Cena back  in December 2013, according to WWE.

Next on the list of notable additions is WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash. Nash rose to superstardom during the heyday of the so-called "Monday Night Wars" between the WWE and the World Championship Wrestling (WCW). Nash became one of the original members of the iconic faction known as the New World Order (NWO), along with Hulk Hogan and Scott Hall. The WWE Hall of Famer is also a former World Champion.

Also set to join the "WWE 2K16" roster is the Celtic Warrior Sheamus. Sheamus himself has been atop the WWE roster as World Champion and he remains one of the major forces inside the wresting world today. Earlier this year, Sheamus was also able to claim the Money in the Bank briefcase that entitles him to a guaranteed shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship any time within one year of his original win.

Also newly confirmed for "WWE 2K16" is the gigantic Big Show. Big Show has been one of the mainstays of the WWE roster since he first burst onto the scene, and along the way he has thrust himself into the conversation of being one of the most dominant big men to ever set foot inside a WWE ring.

With the latest batch of additions, about half of the "WWE 2K16" roster has now been revealed, according to iDigital Times.

"WWE 2K16" will be released on Oct. 27.
