Even more WWE superstars were added to the roster for WWE 2K19 recently, as 2K revealed its DLC for the upcoming game. This batch added 11 wrestlers to the game, none of which were playable in previous versions. It includes Raw superstar Bobby Lashley, and NXT superstars Lacey Evans, Ricochet, and EC3.
One of the selling points of the WWE 2K games is the gigantic roster of playable rosters, and WWE 2K19 will not be scaling things back. 2K has shared a huge portion of the game’s lineup of wrestlers, and 2K19 offers a sizable plethora of superstars to choose from when the game releases on October 9, 2018. Last year’s WWE 2K18 ended up with over 180 wrestlers–the largest in the history of the series to that point–and 2K19 has already topped that. Here’s a detailed look at every member of the 2K19 roster.
During the most recent weekly roster reveal from 2K, Rusev and Lana revealed the latest WWE 2K19 playable superstars with Cesaro and Sheamus, also known as The Bar. The focus for this batch was legendary WWE wrestlers. The large reveal had a few new additions to the game, including Ted DiBiase, who has been only a manager in previous games. Additionally, fan favorites like Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, and Booker T will be included in the new game.
Fans of both Daniel Bryan are going to be very happy as 2K is bringing back Showcase Mode for WWE 2K19, which follows the career of the superstar. From his first match as Bryan Danielson to his feuds with The Miz, it will be covered in the upcoming game. Among the new features are the Million Dollar Challenge, which takes place within the new Challenge Mode. Cover star AJ Styles headlines the roster, while those who pre-order will get bonus characters Ronda Rousey and Rey Mysterio. Additionally, the $130 Wooooo! Edition of the game has been announced which comes with a bunch of exclusives including a season pass, exclusive roster additions, a piece of Ric Flair’s robe, early access to play, and more.
This year’s edition will be skipping Nintendo Switch, after last year’s port featured a bevy of problems from frame rate issues to resolution dropping down to 540p, even in docked mode. However, the game will still be released in early October for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
