We’ll make sure to link a full WWE 2K20 roster page to this section, so stay tuned.
MYCAREER, Mixed Match Challenge, and WWE Towers
WWE 2K20 is making a few alterations to a few of its modes this year. MYCAREER mode will finally allow players to take control of a custom created male or female Superstar. One of the new match types for the game comes in the form of Mixed Match Challenge, which pits a team of one male Superstar and a female one against an opposing duo.
And just like the TV presentation, the men will take on the men while the women compete against the women. WWE 2K19’s Towers mode is making its return in WWE 2K20 – it’s set to introduce fresh challenges and a new story-based Tower that encompasses the career of Roman Reigns. Once more information about these modes becomes available, we’ll be sure to list them right here.
2K Showcase & WWE 2K20 Originals
WWE 2K’s signature 2K Showcase mode allows players to play with a chosen Superstar and relive their most legendary moments via objective-based matches. For WWE 2K20, this year’s 2K Showcase experience has been dubbed “2K Showcase: The Women’s Evolution.” This new installment of 2K Showcase will focus on the careers of the “Four Horsewomen” of WWE – Becky Lynch, Bayley, Charlotte Flair, and Sasha Banks. Fans will get to relive all four ladies’ standout NXT/WWE bouts and get the chance to view special interviews/career introspective videos as they make their way through this year’s 2K Showcase setup.
One of the WWE 2K20’s debuting modes is a feature that will fill out 2K Showcase mode even more – WWE 2K20 Originals. This brand new feature is a live service model that’s set to bring add-on content to WWE 2K20 beyond its initial launch. This new piece of DLC will bring with it a playable world that introduces new themes, such as a creepy swamp ring with fantastical renditions of Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman. Once more details about this mode are released, we’ll make sure to detail them right here.
