WWE 2K18 Video Reveals Sanity Entrance And Roster

The first few playable characters who are part of the WWE 2K18 roster have been revealed as part of a 2K Games and IGN collaboration. The reveal includes a number of characters, such as Zami Zayn, Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt, and Dusty Rhodes.

The 18 minute promo piece is long-winded and very twaddling. Nevertheless, if you want to see it all you can do so by checking out the video below, which was posted up on IGN’s channel.

In addition to the other characters revealed up above, the video also reveals:

  • Baron Corbin
  • Seth Rollins
  • Roman Reigns
  • Kurt Angle
  • Shinsuke Nakamura
  • John Cena
  • Kalisto
  • Akira Tozawa
  • Sin Cara
  • Hideo Itami
  • Eric Young
  • Nikki Cross
  • Jinder Mahal
  • Bushwhacker Butch
  • Bushwhacker Luke
  • Konnor
  • Viktor
  • Cesaro
  • Sheamus
  • Karl Anderson
  • Luke Gallows
  • Alundra Blayze
  • Emma
  • Lita
  • Summer Rae
  • Paige
  • Brie Bella
  • Nikki Bella
  • British Bulldog
  • Buddy Roberts
  • Diamond Dallas Page
  • Big Boss Man
  • Mark Henry
  • Bam Bam Bigelow
  • Bret Hart
  • Undertaker
  • Big Show
  • Andre The Giant
  • Kane
  • Diesel/Kevin Nash
  • Luke Harper
  • Erick Rowan
  • Sawyer Fulton
  • Alexander Wolfe
  • Killian Dain
  • Braun Strowman

In addition to some of the partial roster reveals, there was also a video with Sanity from NXT making their entrance. It’s cool that they have a decent enough NXT stadium in the game, because it’s got a life of its own. Check it out below.

Graphically it looks decent enough, but hands down the visuals for Sanity’s entrance are captured quite well. The new lighting engine and graphics really do make a huge difference. It’s not photorealistic but it looks good. Killian Dain in particular almost looks 1:1 like the real thing.

Anyway, the best part about that IGN video was Renee Young’s pants. Otherwise it was pretty cringe-worthy. Expect IGN to unveil the rest of the roster ahead of the October 13th release for WWE 2K18.
