WWE 2K15 release date: Exclusive 'Who Got NXT' mode on Xbox 360, PS3 unwrapped, details
A brand new WWE 2K15 game mode for Xbox 360 and PS3 called 'Who Got NXT,' has just been unwrapped by 2K Sports.
"With MyCareer being exclusive to Xbox One and PS4 versions of WWE 2K15, we (the design team) were tasked with creating a mode that would only be made available on Xbox 360 and PS3. With our creative juices flowing, just about everyone on the team immediately thought of NXT," WWE 2K Senior Designer Bryan Williams said.
He added, "We hadn't developed a firm idea or concept regarding NXT; we only knew we wanted to incorporate NXT in our eventual idea."
This game mode centers on five NXT super wrestlers: Sami Zayn, Adrian Neville, Rusev, Corey Graves and Bo Dallas.
"In a nutshell, our idea was to create a compelling unlock method. We wanted to create a mode or area of the game where players could control a handful of NXT Superstars with the stipulation they'd be strictly confined to the mode and not be available for use outside of said mode until certain requirements had been fulfilled by the player – and when I mean confined, I mean confined!" Williams explained.
"Until completing said requirements, NXT Superstars would be prohibited from all game modes (e.g. Exhibition, Online, Creation Suite, Universe), and their associated assets (e.g. moves, entrance videos, etc.) would be locked. We wanted the unlocking of an NXT Superstar to be similar to that of an actual NXT Superstar being called up to the main roster," the game designer added.
When a player fulfills all objective capsuled within each five chapters, he will receive NXT Arena, NXT ArRIVAL Arena, NXT Championship, NXT Tag Team Championship and NXT Women's Championship.
Another exciting news for hardcore WWE fans is the confirmation that Ultimate Warrior will be a part of the WWE 2K15 'Feel the Power.'
WWE 2K15 versions for Xbox 360 and PS3 are scheduled for commercial release date on Tuesday, Oct. 28 in North America.
Xbox One and PS4 variants will be available on Nov. 18 in North America and Nov. 21 across Europe.
