So with the list of WWE stars slowly being filled up, the focus now shifts on whether the game developers were able to address the concerns of the ones who aired their disappointment on WWE 2K15.
Early this year, the WWE Games Development Team encouraged gamer to share their views and send in suggestions to make WWE 2K16 better. For a list of the suggestions made, much of them are contained here.
Among the concerns aired include the lack of matches and the inability to create female wrestlers. The Season Pass was also something that was hard to handle, not to mention something that featured only Paige and three showcase storylines.
So now it should be interesting to see if those concerns were indeed addressed and if they were implemented. For those who want to pre-judge, check out the entrance video of Tyson Kidd and Cesaro below.
WWE 2K16 will be released first in North America on Oct. 27, 2015 and internationally on Oct. 30, 2015. WWE 2K16 will be available in Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4 and PS3 versions.
