WWE 2K16 Screenshots, Dude Love's Entrance & 23 More Confirmed Wrestlers

I wish the four foley' sand Wight/Big Show were alternate attires. Sucks they take up 6 spots when it could be 2.

Oh well, I'm still impressed with the roster ALREADY, can't wait for next Monday, where I assume they'll announce some NXT guys.

Typically this series is handled more like a fighting game where any new characters released post-launch are DLC.

"Roster updates" a la Madden / NBA 2K / The Show don't exist in this series right now. This is most obviously illustrated in WWE 2K15 where Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Dean Ambrose all have their Shield gimmicks, despite that the game released several months after The Shield disbanded.

Ok thanks for answering me. And how much DLC do they usually release, just wondering if the season pass will be worth it or not?

The past two years, it's been broken down like this:

- 1 to 3 pre-order bonus characters eventually released individually late in the game's life cycle (the exact number received at preorder depended on version of the game purchased)
- three DLC packs, released monthly after the game's release date, containing anywhere from four to six additional wrestlers

Starting with WWE 2K15, 2K also added new paths to the Showcase feature via DLC. Each Superstar DLC pack contained a new story arc around a new Superstar, which had about ten matches to play along with video vignettes, photos, etc. I can't speak to the quality of the DLC showcases because I never played them, but the on-disc Showcase mode scenarios are nice nostalgia trips, generally speaking.

Also worth noting that the Season Pass is necessary to edit the attributes / traits / etc. of any non-CAW wrestler in the game. Which I find a bit sleazy from a customer service standpoint, but I continue to pay for it so I suppose I can't get but so up-in-arms, lol.

I hope Honkytonk man can wrestle in his proper wrestling attire this year. Last year he could only wrestle in his red entrance suit. That was fine for the showcase but outside of that I wanted his proper wrestling trunks when in ring.

See, I can play that game too.

As sad as the state of current WWE is, 2K knows they make their money off of the legends they include and not the current roster.

Dudleys, Owen and Mr Perfect is all I need

This list of current and former wrestlers is impressive!

Don't know how 2K was able to pull it off to be hones.

Like Junior Moe said, time for me to get back into wrestling and relieve some of my favorites from the past.
