WWE 2K16 is an upcoming professional wrestling video game in development by Yuke's and Visual Concepts. It will be published by 2K Sports for the PlayStation 3 (PS3), PlayStation 4 (PS4), Xbox 360, and Xbox One.[1][2][3] It will be the seventeenth game in the WWE games series (third under the "WWE 2K" banner), and is the follow up to WWE 2K15.

The game was officially announced on June 16, 2015, with WWE and 2K revealing the first six Superstars and Divas, who would be included on the game's roster.[4]

On July 6, 2015, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin was announced as the cover superstar.[5] On July 27, 2015, 2K released the first official screenshot of the game, the Raw announce table with John Bradshaw Layfield's cowboy hat sitting on it.[6] On August 4, 2015, IGN revealed the first screenshots, gameplay and entrances for WWE 2K16 at Gamescom.[7]

Gameplay

Reversals have been changed so players have a set amount of reversals per match, preventing players from spamming reversals all match.[7] There are no loading screens between entrances, and players have the ability to attack other wrestlers during their entrance.[7] Referee and manager AI has been improved.[7] Pins and submissions have been reworked and improved, with a new system replacing the previous one, allowing for fairer breakouts and newer animations have also been added.[7]

Match types

Ladder tag team, handicap tag team, and tornado tag matches, all of which were removed in 2K15, return in 2K16.[7]

Roster

2K announced on their social media accounts that WWE 2K16 will feature the "largest roster in the game's history", featuring over 120 unique playable characters, nearly double the 67 that were in last year's game.[8] A developer for the game then clarified that the 120 unique playable characters count does not include potential DLC, and that all 120 characters are included and will be released with the game.[9] On July 27, 2015, 2K announced that Arnold Schwarzenegger's T-800 Terminator will be a playable character available as a pre-order exclusive.[10] IGN then handled the release of newer screenshots, animations, features and artwork which would be included in the game. They also handled the weekly release of superstars who would be featured in the game, dubbing it "IGN's Roster 3:16".[11] As of 9-22-2015 the game roster has 116 unique playable characters including the Terminator.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page). The album's soundtrack was compiled by the game's developers.
