Don’t fret, PC gamers — your wait for WWE 2K16 is almost over.
On Wednesday, 2K – with a little help from former WWE World
Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins – announced details about its ongoing
development of WWE 2K16 for Windows PC. The world-renowned video game
publisher indicated that the PC version of WWE 2K16 will largely mirror
the console versions available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, including
its critically-acclaimed simulation gameplay experience, as well as the
largest WWE video game roster in history.
Unlike its console version counterparts, WWE 2K16 for Windows PC will
make all of its popular downloadable content offerings available
immediately and free of charge. That means PC grappling gamers will have
instant access to sought-after content, including popular DLC Packs
featuring new Superstars and moves, exclusive 2K Showcase modes and two
playable versions of WWE Hall of Famer Arnold Schwarzenegger which
reprise his iconic T-800 role from the feature films “The Terminator”
and “Terminator 2: Judgment Day.”
WWE 2K16 for Windows PC will be available for purchase via Steam for $49.99.
One of the first customers for 2K’s upcoming Windows PC release is
sure to be Seth Rollins, who is just as renowned throughout the WWE
Universe as an avid gamer as he is for his exploits with The Shield and
The Authority. He recently revealed his gaming proficiency through
recent appearances on the popular WWE on YouTube channel UpUpDownDown, a
surprising talent he has secretly honed over many years.
“I’ve been playing video games my whole life,” Rollins said. “And I’m
actually getting more and more into it with some of the games that have
been coming out recently. Maybe I’ve been hanging around Woods and the
New Day guys too much. I think most people from my generation grew up
with video games and can remember the first time they picked up a
controller. After all these years, it’s crazy to see how far they’ve
come.”
Like many WWE fans, the free DLC offerings of WWE 2K16 for Windows PC
should help satiate Rollins’ appetite for competition in the virtual
world of sports-entertainment. He especially appreciates how 2K’s latest
WWE video game helps bring past wrestling heroes into the current
competitive landscape.
“I’m a bit of a WWE historian myself, and one of the things I’m most
excited about is being able to play as the past, present and future – no
pun intended – of WWE,” Rollins said. “Every year, the DLC in the WWE
2K games gives people some of that, whether it’s great legends and
rivalries of the past, or the latest additions to the NXT roster.”
Combining the largest WWE video roster in history with expansive DLC
offerings means WWE fans can conjure up all sorts of dream matches when
they create their dream WWE 2K16 match cards. In describing the many
virtual opponents he’d like to share the ring with, Rollins identified
one NXT Superstar in particular who would make a worthy foe in 2K’s
virtual WWE ring.
“Samoa Joe is a guy I have a lot of history with,” Rollins said. “And
he’s now in NXT and part of the included DLC content. Now, you can
recreate all those great matches we had in WWE 2K16.”
