Becky Lynch & Roman Reigns unveiled as WWE 2K20 cover stars

Becky Lynch and Roman Reigns have officially been unveiled as the cover stars for WWE 2K20.

Lynch and Reigns will both be on the cover of the video game, which is set to be released worldwide for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on Tuesday, October 22. This is the first time two wrestlers have shared the cover since WWE’s partnership with 2K Sports began in 2013, and Lynch is the first woman to be a cover star for the WWE 2K series.

AJ Styles, Seth Rollins, Brock Lesnar, Steve Austin, John Cena, and The Rock have previously been featured on the cover of WWE 2K games. 

There will be a Women’s Evolution 2K Showcase mode that follows the careers of Lynch, Bayley, Charlotte Flair, and Sasha Banks. 2K Sports is also touting the following list of features:

The debut of WWE 2K20 Originals, a collection of 2K Showcase downloadable content designed to let players explore new playable worlds and experience unique themes beyond what’s available at WWE 2K20’s launch.

The ability to compete as male and female Superstars in MyCareer and Mixed Tag Team Matches.

The return of WWE Towers mode, including an all-new Tower inspired by the storied career of Roman Reigns.

Updated controls to make WWE 2K20 more accessible to new players.

The Deluxe Edition of WWE 2K20 “contains a copy of the game with special packaging, a complete set of WWE 2K20 Originals, access to the Accelerator, MyCareer Kickstart, WWE SuperCard limited edition cards, additional digital content offerings including the WWE 2K debut of Chyna as a playable character, and more.”

The Collector’s Edition “pays homage to the 20th Anniversary of SmackDown and contains the same features as the Deluxe Edition plus exclusive and rare collectibles.”

AJ Styles confirmed as WWE 2K19 cover star

AJ Styles has been confirmed as the cover star for the next WWE video game.

2K Sports held a press conference this morning to announce that Styles would be on the cover of WWE 2K19. The game will be released for PS4, Xbox One, and PC worldwide on October 9, but few other details were revealed at the press conference.

Pro Wrestling Sheet first reported that Styles would be on the cover of the game. Their report also stated that Ronda Rousey would be the pre-order bonus character, like Kurt Angle, Goldberg, Arnold Schwarzenegger (as The Terminator), Sting, and The Ultimate Warrior have been in the past, and that Rey Mysterio was there for the filming of this year’s commercial. 2K didn’t announce the pre-order character or release the commercial during the press conference.

Styles spoke about being a big fan of video games and promoted a million dollar contest where someone will have the chance to play against him in 2K19. Those who complete a new mode that has yet to be announced can submit a promotional video for the contest, with four semifinalists then being chosen to face off against each other. The winner will receive $1 million if they defeat Styles.

There will be standard, deluxe edition, and collector’s edition versions of the game released.

Seth Rollins, Brock Lesnar, Steve Austin, John Cena, and The Rock were the last five wrestlers to be featured on the cover of the annual WWE video game.
