New Features Being Added to WWE 2K18

2K Sports have announced a number of exciting new features to be included in the next edition of it's ever popular WWE 2K series - WWE 2K18. In addition to the usual slew of nonsense buzzword improvements that don't actually mean anything like 'new graphics engine', 'improved grappling system' and 'enhanced Diva cleavage', the developer has added a number of actual new features that they hope will bring an unprecedented sense of realism to the game.

Deconstruct-a-Character - Tired of trying to think of a cool name for a character you will play for two matches before going back to being Brock Lesnar? then this is for you.  This new feature allows you to take existing, successful wrestlers and reduce them to one dimensional cartoon characters who instantly lose any fan appeal they once had.  Take UWF TV champion Terry Taylor from super over babyface to utterly despised chicken impersonator.  Transform scufflin' redneck Dustin Rhodes into a blatant attempt to gain publicity by making him a crossdresser, and best of all, pick any successful Japanese star and make him an offensive pastiche of Kato from the Pink Panther and the Mickey Rooney character from breakfast at Tiffany's to make sure you get zero return on the investment made on prising him from New Japan.

empty seats just pop off the screen

Pick Your Era Audience - add that air of authenticity to your matches by choosing the crowd of your era and region, from the wild, whisky fuelled mayhem of 1982 WCCW, the joyous, sold-out hypercolor adorned pre-teen WWF 1988 crowd, or even the mostly empty Smackdown Live arena of 2017.

Investor Conference Call:  Assume the role of Vince McMahon (if it's been a good quarter) HHH (for an ok trading quarter) or WWE CFO George Barrios (for the standard terrible quarter) to field questions from your stockholders. Use all your defensive skills to fend off questions like "why are ratings for Raw down again" and "Why are the ratings for Smackdown plummeting". Use your creativity to pretend that giving away 300,000 free Network subscriptions per month actually helps the bottom line and show your tactical savvy to explain why your only successful headliners are either part timers, geriatrics, or both.

WWE 2K18 is set to be released in August 2017
