2K recently announced WWE 2K22, the new chapter of the franchise that promises fans a myriad of new features and news regarding the gameplay. Let’s take a look at everything that will change in this title and what are the key features to keep in mind when the game releases.
Showcase Mode – Rey Mysterio
The 2K Showcase is the trademark of WWE 2K, the objective-based single-player story mode, which allows players to engage in a beloved story arc in WWE history and moments with unlockable characters, arenas and gear. In Rey Mysterio’s 2K Showcase, players face legendary opponents such as Eddie Guerrero, The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels, as well as current Superstars, including The Miz and Dolph Ziggler. Fast-paced gameplay seamlessly switches to historical live footage, using 2K’s new Slingshot technology, for a truly immersive experience.
MyGM
MyGM mode makes its WWE 2K22 debut allowing fans to work as WWE General Manager. With Raw, Smackdown, NXT or NXT UK, players can take the reins to compete against rival GMs. Become the highest-rated show by setting intense rivalries, over-the-top match types, championship finals, pay-per-view events, and an ever-growing arena and crowd arms race. Once players have set the stage, they can play as Superstar, interfere as GM, or call the shots from behind the scenes.
My FACTION
In a franchise-first, the new single-player trading card game puts players in control of building a legendary faction that rivals the iconic nWo. Players will be able to collect, manage and upgrade Superstars, with weekly events and updates.
Here are the four different types of virtual currency in WWE 2K22 – MyFACTION Points, MyFACTION Tokens and Virtual Currency can only be found in MyFACTION mode:
- MyFACTION Points – which can be spent on card packs and contracts – are awarded for completing matches and challenges;
- MyFACTION Tokens – which can be spent in the Token Rewards market to unlock powerful WWE Superstar and Legend cards – are also awarded for completing matches and challenges;
- Virtual Currency – available for purchase and expendable exclusively in MyFACTION on card packages, boxes and contracts. As an important reminder, anything that players can purchase with virtual currency can also be unlocked with MyFACTION points. Also, MyFACTION is a single player only experience,
therefore players cannot gain a competitive advantage over others by purchasing virtual currency. - Store Tokens: Earned with play in all non-MyFACTION modes, these tokens can be spent in the Shopping Shop to unlock Superstars and any other items for use in non-MyFACTION modes
My ASCENT
MyRISE gives players the opportunity to experience the journey of a WWE Superstar, from the humble beginnings of a Rookie at the WWE Performance Center to the challenge of becoming a Superstar, to be immortalized as a WWE Legend. With unique storylines of the men’s women’s division available for the first time in the franchise’s history, players will meet a host of WWE Superstars and Legends as they embark on the journey.
