WWE 2K19 is due out this October for the Xbox One, PS4 and PC. And it shouldn't go without mentioning, but the biggest Hollywood action star working in the business right now is also on the list, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Stone Cold is joined by fellow Attitude Era superstar, Shawn Michaels.Īnd obviously the pre-order bonus involving Rey Mysterio would mean that he would most certainly be playable in the game, and he is.Īlso, if you were keen on rekindling the NWO, you can do so with Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, the original Outsiders, or you can take a more early 1990s approach and play Hall under his Razor Ramon persona. The refreshed WWE 2K20 roster has a few new names in there, so here they are plus all the usual suspects. He was also a cover athlete for one of the more recent entries in 2K Games' annual series. Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin is another noteworthy entry on the list. Vince McMahan, the chairman of the WWE, returns as a playable character, along with his daughter Stephanie McMahon. And there's the recently departed Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, who was one of the cornerstone figures in The Hart Foundation, a stable that ruled the ring in the 1980s. WWE 2K19 is confirmed for a release date of 9 October and we now know its roster in full. Another notable icon from that era is Diamond Dallas Page, who recently popped up at the very popular indie-promoted show, All-In. Other notable entries on the list include Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat and the late great Macho Man Randy Savage.
This also means that characters like Surfer Sting and Crow Sting are also counted separately (and sadly while we will likely never have the Sting vs Undertaker matchup we've all been dying for, at least you can pit the two legends against each other in WWE 2K19).
So they're counting the classic Deadman Undertaker and the American Badass Undertaker as two separate characters. Now keep in mind that this is following the logic that different iterations of the same wrestler count as a different roster entry. Heck, the amount of wrestlers revealed in that line-up alone is enough to have a cool wrestling game all its own.
