The first details about the MyCareer mode in the upcoming WWE 2K19 video game have been released. In these details, there have been some big changes made to the mode for the latest installment of the franchise including an actual storyline, voice acting, indie wrestling and more.
In the details that were on released on Thursday, September 20, it was noted that the main focus in this game is to provide “a dramatic storyline with plot twists, surprises, and impactful player decisions offering a dramatic shift from previous entries. Over 200 cutscenes tell the story of your MyPLAYER character “Buzz” as he navigates a thrilling journey from the bottom to the top of sports entertainment.”
The publisher noted that they heard the feedback from their fans to have introduced fully-voiced characters in the mode that now includes Triple H, Braun Strowman, and Bray Wyatt. This mode alone has over 1,000 lines of voiceover.
Also, for the first time ever in the series, players are allowed to play as a character on the indie scene where they can wrestle “young upstarts in grungy rings and do anything you can to get noticed by NXT Head Coach Matt Bloom.” Although the trailer was released for this mode this morning, it has since been removed but could be re-uploaded at a later time.
The game will be released on October 9, 2018 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. As noted, WWE Champion AJ Styles will be on the cover of the game while Rey Mysterio and Ronda Rousey will be featured as the pre-order bonus characters.
