NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--2K today announced details of 2K Showcase, the story-driven single-player campaign in WWE® 2K15, the forthcoming release in the flagship WWE video game franchise. Through high quality cinematics and historic WWE footage, players will intimately explore two notable WWE rivalries: the bitter rivalry between Triple H® and Shawn Michaels® from 2002 to 2004, as well as WWE 2K15 cover Superstar John Cena® and CM Punk®’s spirited rivalry spanning 2011 to 2013.

 

“2K Showcase brings WWE to life in a way our fans have never seen before through a video game.”

 

“The moment Triple H ended his longtime friendship with ‘The Heartbreak Kid’ by slamming him with a Pedigree was a defining moment in WWE history,” said Chris Snyder, Vice President of Marketing at 2K. “No fan can deny the fierce competition marking the notorious battles waged between Cena and Punk. These two rivalries are firmly etched in WWE history, and 2K Showcase enables fans to take part in those memorable experiences.”

 

2K Showcase will tell the epic history of the two rivalries through documentary-style video packages of classic WWE footage, authentic WWE Superstar commentary and cinematic cut scenes. In the 33 available matches across the rivalries, players will be tasked with completing a set of bonus historical objectives that will unlock new WWE Superstars, Championship titles and alternate attire that can be used in all other WWE 2K15 game modes. With this wealth of unlockable content, players can recreate current rivalries or stage dream matchups between WWE Superstars of the past and present. Additional 2K Showcase rivalries will be made available via downloadable content following the game’s scheduled release on October 28, 2014 in North America and October 31, 2014 internationally.

 

“Featuring two of the biggest rivalries in WWE history, including my storied matches with Shawn Michaels, there’s no doubt fans will experience the thrill first-hand through WWE 2K15,” said Paul “Triple H” Levesque, Executive Vice President, Talent, Live Events & Creative at WWE. “2K Showcase brings WWE to life in a way our fans have never seen before through a video game.”

 

Developed collaboratively by Yukes and Visual Concepts, a 2K studio, WWE 2K15 is not yet rated by the ESRB. WWE 2K15 is scheduled for release on the PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment systems, as well as Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system and Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft, on October 28, 2014 in North America and October 31, 2014 internationally. Fans who pre-order WWE 2K15 at any participating retailer will receive two playable Sting characters at no extra cost on launch day.

33 matches only for thoose 2 rivalries or for the all showcase mode?

[w00ody]

I'm happy we got these two feuds because they where unexpected, this also means we may get old Raw and SD sets and themes for certain guys. 

[DaMitch]

marking out ... this is gonna be sweet ... Cm punk vs John Cena 2011 got me back into wrestling when punk made the infamous "Pipebomb" on his second to last raw

[McLeod]

Ha, I was right that CM Punk is in the game

[Zark]

I wonder how CM Punk is gonna look? I assume he didn't go in for a face/body scan?

He probably did

[Bob_Van_Dam]

He was probably one of the first scanned, like John Cena. He did leave after the Royal Rumble.

[Tamer™]

I wonder how CM Punk is gonna look? I assume he didn't go in for a face/body scan?

Don't worry man, this is VC we're talking about. I'm sure they have hundreds of other methods to ensure that Punk looks spot on.

Or, you know, he got scanned since he is one of the main guys of the game.

[RJJ]

Hope we get Rock/Austin and Hogan/Sting.

[DaMitch]

to be honest Rock vs Austin would be cool but we get that all the time ... 

[seanironmaiden]

That is awesome news. We'll definitely get 2002 - Era Raw and Smackdown sets I reckon. And Summerslam 2002 set! Be great if you could play bonus matches on the cards of ppvs in the story, like Brock v Rock. Great that Punk is in it too, pipe bombs and all by the sounds of it...

[Tamer™]

Wouldn't this guarantee that he'll be in future games since they have his scanned face?

[DaMitch]

yeah but he is on bad terms with the company ..... and they would have to pay punk royalties for his likeness WWE do not own CM Punks name or character ... they do not want to pay him anything due to him leaving

[Tamer™]

But he has a whole CM Punk alumini section full of his merchandise on WWE.COM. They're paying him already.

[Gamevolt]

Well the Wrestlemania XX main event was a big part of the Michaels vs HHH rivalry so.... BENOIT CONFIRMED!!!!!!! 

[bluemonkeymagic]

Maybe CM Punk is a next gen exclusive? I'm glad he's in, I miss his character on tv so this is the next best thing

[DaMitch]

true , he doesn't have much anymore though , they took down a few things .. i wanted to by the white BITW shirt the other day because i saw it on there last week , aint there anymore to my knowledge 

 

 

* if you could find it that would be sweet lol

[VoltageKidd]

Sweet  

[nicco]

So I'm guessing we'll be getting a Ruthless Agression Raw set in the game right? and a few PPVs too.

Glad Punk is in and featured on the mode.

[TheYoungLiar]

Now we can close that thread with the guy who had a "confirmed reliable source" saying that CM Punk isn't in the game.

The only T Shirt I could find was this.http://shop.wwe.com/CM-Punk-%22434%22-Special-Edition-T-Shirt/W06549,default,pd.html?dwvar_W06549_color=White&start=2&cgid=CMmen%27s

The rest are hoodies, a few caps, the X marked stuff he wore on his hands, and his DVD. And some action figures. I think they remove some stuff as it might seem outdated.

[bluemonkeymagic]

So they'll have some Dx story in there too, maybe.

The file name of CM Punks image is "CM_Punk_Retro.png" put is using his up to date look? :S
