2K Games has today confirmed the release date for WWE 2K20 with the game set to be released on October 22nd for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. In addition to that the company also confirmed that Superstars Becky Lynch and Roman Reigns will grace the covers of WWE 2K20. Becky Lynch is the first woman Superstar to take front billing on the cover of a WWE 2K title. However, she isn’t the first woman to appear on a WWE cover as Trish Stratus and Stacy Kiebler were on the covers of the WWE Day of Reckoning games. Alongside the release date and cover star reveal 2K Games also confirmed some new modes for WWE 2K20.
2K Showcase: The Women’s Evolution will be a new story mode that goes through the careers of Becky Lynch, Bayley, Charlotte Flair, and Sasha Banks. The controls in WWE 2K20 will also be simplified so new players will have an easier time of getting to grips with the action. In MyCareer players can choose to be a male or female wrestler and take part in mixed tag matches too. The Towers mode will also return and there will be a specific Tower based on Roman Reigns’ career. Add on content called WWE 2K20 Originals will be released adding new themes and playable worlds to the game, though these will likely cost extra.
