WWE 2K20 Cover Art

“The Man” and “The Big Dog” share cover duties for WWE 2K20 when it hits store shelves on October 20, 2019. Becky Lynch and Roman Reigns have had a stellar 2019 with Becky being center stage for the evolution of women's wrestling. Her feud with both Ronda and Charlotte Flair carried WWE through WrestleMania season and gave fans someone new to support in Lynch who embraced her anti-establishment quasi Stone Cold Steve Austin persona. Securing the cover for WWE 2K20 is the icing on the cake for this talented performer. While some may argue that she should have got the cover by herself one cannot ignore all that Roman Reigns endured getting to this point. From crowds turning against him to overcoming leukemia, to losing his Shield brother Dean Ambrose Roman Reigns has been not only an inspiration but one of the key players carrying this new generation of performers.

The big story here is not just about the cover athletes for WWE 2K20 but also about what fans can expect this year.

WWE 2K20, in direct response to fan feedback, will include several franchise firsts alongside streamlined gameplay and a variety of popular modes. The story-driven, objective-based 2K ShowcaseThe Women’s Evolution will follow the careers of the Four Horsewomen – Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch, SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley®, Charlotte Flair® and Sasha Banks®. Controls will be streamlined to allow new players to jump into the game more easily, while experienced players will still enjoy a challenge.

In addition, WWE 2K20 players will be able to compete as both male and female Superstars in MyCAREER and Mixed Tag matches, while last year’s popular WWE Towers returns with exciting new challenges, including a story-driven Tower centered around the career of Roman Reigns.

The game will also introduce a new service model – WWE 2K20 Originals – set to deliver a wealth of 2K Showcase add-on content for player exploration beyond the game’s initial launch. Each of the WWE 2K20 Originals will present a new playable world and its own unique theme, with more details to be announced in the coming months. WWE 2K20 Originals is downloadable content that may require additional purchase.
