'WWE 2K16' release date: Gmae to include returning features, subtle differences in platform versions

 2K Games

One of the much-awaited titles for this year, especially among wrestling fans, is the next iteration in the "WWE" videogame franchise. Aside from having the most updated and biggest roster to date, "WWE 2K16" promises new and updated features and that will make each fan's match experience memorable.

According to industry follower Heavy, one of most noted improvements for the upcoming wrestling title is the return of some of the creation features for the fans. The creation suite itself has been vastly improved. Now, there are more items to choose from to make a character as unique as possible, from clothing to tattoos.

Meanwhile, aside from Create a Superstar, there are also other creation features conspicuously absent from "WWE 2K15" that will make their returns – Create a Diva, Create an Entrance, and Create a Championship, among others.

In addition, "WWE 2K16" also marks the return of Stone Cold Steve Austin as a powerhouse. Aside from being billed as the cover athlete, Stone Cold will also be features heavily in a new mode dubbed Showcase. Players can re-enact the Stone Cold's memorable matches. Other than Austin, players will also get to participate in other historic matches from WWE Superstars such as The Ultimate Warrior, Triple H, and Shawn Michaels.

Meanwhile, getting closer to its release date, developer and publisher 2K Games confirmed that there will be subtle differences between the platform versions, particularly in graphics. However, while current-gen platforms will get to enjoy a much more detailed "WWE 2K16," Yibada reported that content will be almost the same no matter the platform, and Xbox 360 and PS3 players will get to enjoy almost the same features (minus the MyCareer mode) as current-gen console gamers.

"WWE 2K16" will roll out later this month, on Oct. 27 for both current- and older-gen Xbox and PlayStation consoles.
