WWE 2K23 Released

2K announces the release of WWE 2K23, a new installment in this simulation of the simulated sport of professional wrestling. This is available for PC and consoles, but that's a decision for you to wrestle with. If you opt for the Windows edition, it's available on Steam. There are already four DLC packs for this, as well as sales of the game's virtual currency. Here are more details to grapple with:

WWE 2K23 features an array of new features and improvements on existing fan-favorites:

  • WarGames: The much-requested, chaotic and action-packed WarGames makes its debut in WWE 2K23 and delivers heart-pounding 3v3 and 4v4 single player or multiplayer mayhem inside two side-by-side rings, surrounded by a double-steel cage;
  • “You Can’t Beat Me” 2K Showcase Starring John Cena: Conquering John Cena in the ring is an accolade few Superstars can claim. In an unprecedented twist on the 2K Showcase, players will step into the boots of several of Cena’s toughest competitors with one goal in mind: defeat the man who will “Never Give Up.” Spanning his 20-year WWE career and narrated by Cena himself, this interactive sports entertainment documentary uses 2K’s unique Slingshot Tech for a seamless transition from gameplay to live-action footage to bring pivotal moments in each match to life. Check out the official “Even Stronger” Showcase trailer here;
  • MyFACTION: Now featuring online multiplayer action, the team-building mode in which players collect, manage, and upgrade an array of WWE Superstars and Legends to create their ultimate four-person factions returns.* Regular post-launch content in the form of scheduled Live Events will arrive year-round, offering a single-player experience with unique matchups curated by WWE 2K designers, as well as the new Pink Diamond card tier set to arrive post-launch. Players can collect multiple iterations and MyFACTION exclusive looks for favorite Superstars, from the most coveted historic looks to the most up-to-date changes happening on TV;

Looks like this one is the best in years.
83 metacritic so far. Lots of praise.

So it looks like 2K wants to copy EA's Ultimate Team monstrosity even harder with the MyFACTION mode.

All that tells me is that I don't want to touch any 2K sports title ever again.

I don't think I want to give Vince money. In any case, I'm curious what reviews say about this one with the last one being an average 7 game.

I bought 2k22 on the cheap and somewhat regret it. I guess my love for the old wrestling games still has a place in me, but these new ones playing nothing like them. I'm talking WCW vs NWO World Tour. WCW Revenge, Wrestlemania2k2 I think it was. Those were on the N64. PS1 had a good one too.

I remember those PS1/N64 days fondly too - I think I stopped bothering after one of the Gamecube releases (can't remember the title). I did pick up Fire Pro Wrestling World on Steam some years ago, which is pretty solid if you can overlook the retro graphics and gameplay (it reminds me alot of the old SNES-era WWF titles). Obviously it doesn't have licensed wrestlers from the WWF/WWE or WCW but it seems evident that they deliberately put most of the necessary parts and moves in their create-a-wrestler feature so you can just build them yourself.

EDIT: It's also currently only 6 bucks in the Steam Spring Sale.

Now I fired up 2k22 and had no idea who like 90% of the wrestlers are and that takes a big part of the fun out of it for me. Oh well. That's my getting old rant.
