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.

The first episode in the 2K Showcase Mode will feature CM Punk and John Cena's rivalry from 2011-2013. The second episode in the 2K Showcase Mode will feature Triple H and Shawn Michaels rivalry from 2002-2004. “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.” “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.

What better way to bid adieu to CM Punk. 2K, You're just nailing it so far....

:D :D

[M42Productions]

So I wonder if this means that we'll be getting rivalries for DLC instead of wrestlers?  I guess I shouldn't complain if that's true, since 2K would be saving me money.  In any case, it just sounds like one more menu option to skip on the way to the Creation tools.

Hopefully the attires for HBK and HHH aren't separate characters like '13 and 2K14. Also 'This fire burns' has to be in there for the MITB '11 match. 

[Mystiquε]

WHERE'S MA GAMEPLAY?

[Hitman97]

I have zero interest in both these rivalries.

[IamCrazyPT]

I have zero interest in both these rivalries.

Lol, Triple h vs Hbk was one of the greatest rivalries in wwe history

Maybe his only interest is MyCareer? That's understandable.

[The Elite Player]

Since HHH & Shawn Michaels feud will be in the game does that mean Chris Benoit will also be in? B/C he played a big part in their rivalry so if they want the rivalries to be exactly like how it played on tv they are gonna have to include Chris Benoit. IDK u guys.

Benoit will never be in a WWE game. He does not exist as far as WWE is concerned.

Unfortunately you are absolutely right 

[Thedeadmanrising]

-Rock and Stone Cold shall be No.1 on that showcase

-Undertaker and Kane

-Hulk Hogan and The Rock

Those would be awesome. It's only a matter of time until we see custom showcase like Rock vs Shawn Michaels, Hulk Hogan vs Stone Cold, etc.

[RamNag]

Well, there is yet another reason to buy the game. Can't wait

[the King Lives]

i hope that jr was lying when he said he wouldn't be doing commentary, cause 2k just uploaded the bad blood 2004 match between HHH/HBK and Ross is clearly doing commentary.  Just wouldn't sound right with Cole/Lawler at all!

[UndertakerWLF]

I'd like to see Undertaker and Mankind, that was a fantastic rivalry!

yeah but i was talking about the real badd blood 2004 match not gameplay

[Beyond The Ropes]

I wish they would tell us how many rivalries Showcase will take us through. All I want is a Rey and Eddie Showcase, but the chances of that are so slim.

i really didn't see much of that rivalry so yeah i think it would be cool.  I think that's when i stopped watching wwe for a while.. next thing i knew, Batista was beating the living hell out of rey cause they lost the tag titles LOL

Oh brother, don't remind me! That was what made me despise Batista from that moment on. But Eddie and Rey probably take up 2-3 of my top 5 favorite singles matches, I'd kill for them to go all the way back to their first matches in WCW in the Showcase. That would be unreal.

[Tevin]

*crosses fingers hoping for a Trish vs Lita or Aj vs Kaitlyn rivalry. 

We'd get divas like Victoria for the Trish vs Lita one and Aksana and Kaitlyn would be in for the Aj vs Kaitlyn rivalry..either way is a win for me.
