Developed by Saber Interactive, WWE 2K Battlegrounds
offers explosive excitement in an approachable experience for
everyone from passionate WWE fans to casual players, with several
ways to play:
- Exhibition: Take part in Exhibition matches at home or
on-the-go, anytime and anywhere, in local and online multiplayer
action for up to four players;
- Campaign: Join the adventures of seven new WWE hopefuls
- created exclusively for WWE 2K Battlegrounds - in Campaign
mode and compete for the chance to earn a WWE contract. Along the
way, you’ll unlock new arenas, inspired by locations such as the
Everglades, a military-style Bootcamp, Mexico, New York and
Scotland, while receiving guidance from legendary personalities
including “Stone Cold” Steve Austin® and Paul Heyman™;
- King of the Battleground: Take on all comers in the King
of the Battleground, an online, last-man-standing mode where four
players start in the ring while four more wait outside to enter,
challenging you to run the gauntlet and defeat them all;
- Online: Test your toughness in online tournaments and
Exhibition matches.
Eight unique Battlegrounds environments play a major role in the
action, many of them featuring interactive elements adding to the
mayhem alongside a variety of outrageous melee weapons players can
use to pummel opponents. Soar from military helicopters, smash
opponents with cars in an auto shop and toss them into the jaws of
a hungry alligator in the swamp. Bombastic play-by-play is provided
by WWE commentators Mauro Ranallo™ and Jerry “The King” Lawler® to
complete the mood.
Players can also customize their own arenas to give each brawl a
personal touch and use the Superstar Creator to build their own,
unique WWE Superstar with different body types and sizes, facial
features, clothing, hair and fighting styles.
“We know WWE fans and gamers enjoy a wide variety of
experiences, and with WWE 2K Battlegrounds, we’re presenting
a whole new dimension through arcade-style gameplay that’s
completely different than our WWE 2K simulation franchise," said
Chris Snyder, Vice President of Marketing for 2K. "We look forward
to seeing everyone tear it up with friends and family in the
Battlegrounds.”
WWE 2K Battlegrounds is designed to be easy to pick up
and play, but challenging to master, with more advanced techniques
to be learned and skills to be unlocked so players of all skill
levels can enjoy the action. A roster of today’s biggest WWE
Superstars, including Roman Reigns®, Drew McIntyre®, Charlotte
Flair®, Becky Lynch®, Asuka®, Daniel Bryan®, Kofi Kingston®, Randy
Orton® - combined with Legends - including Andre the Giant™,
Undertaker®, Mankind®, Shawn Michaels®, Yokozuna™, Sgt. Slaughter™
and many more, offers fan favorites for all generations of the WWE
Universe to enjoy, with more unlockable Superstars to come via free
updates in the future. Each Superstar utilizes one of five class
styles, and each class style has its own combat moves, strengths
and weaknesses. Choose from the Powerhouse, Technician, High-Flyer,
Brawler and All-Rounder to find the style that works best for you.
Arcade-style powerups, such as Flaming Fist, Ice Breath and
Earthquake, are accompanied by colorful visual effects, offering
extra excitement and an additional dimension of strategy that can
quickly change the direction of a match.
WWE 2K Battlegrounds is available now for pre-order in
Standard Edition (MSRP $39.99) and Digital Deluxe Edition (MSRP
$49.99). Players who pre-order the Standard Edition will receive
