'WWE 2K15' release date delayed to Nov. 18 by 2K Games

2K Games announced that the official "WWE 2K15" release date is pushed back by three weeks, particularly for the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One. The new release date for these next-generation consoles have been set for Nov. 18 in North America and Nov. 21 in other countries.

The game's version for the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 are still slotted for Oct. 28 in North America and Oct. 31 worldwide, as initially planned.  However, there have been no official dates for digital pre-orders for the PS 4 and the Xbox One versions, and no news whether the PS 3 and Xbox One will be having a digital version.

"Visual Concepts and Yuke's are committed to delivering the most authentic and action-packed WWE experience to date, including release for the very first time on next-generation consoles," Visual Concepts President Greg Thomas explained. "The additional development time enables our talented teams to ensure the WWE 2K15 next-gen experience fully meets our expectations."

2K Games is also expected to launch a limited "Hulkamania" edition that is comprised of a copy of the game itself along with a collectible card signed by Hulk Hogan, a Funko "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan vinyl action figure, and a piece of authentic ring canvas from Hulk Hogan's appearance on "Monday Night Raw" last March 10 in Memphis, Tennessee.

In addition, two exclusive characters for pre-order (Hulk Hogan and "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan) and access to the WWE 2K15 international pre-order Sting playable character pack get thrown in as well.  

The "WWE 2K15" has also been announced to include Superstars, Divas and Legends along with a MyCareer mode, a Showcase mode for players to reenact well-known feuds, and a Create-A-Fighter mode.  Being a collaborative effort by Yukes and 2K studio Visual Concepts, the ESRB has given WWE 2K15 a rating of T for Teen.
