The initial onslaught of characters is enough to make any wrestling aficionado’s head spin, and a couple of highly requested Superstars will at long last be appearing in-game. The premise of allowing even more dream match-ups to play out in WWE 2K14’s standard multiplayer options is tantalizing enough, but the possibilities are now nearly endless with the likes of Ric Flair, Batista, Yokozuna, and Goldberg now officially joining the fray.
Without further ado, glance through the roster for WWE 2K14’s 30 Years of WrestleMania mode below:
Alberto Del Rio Andre the Giant Batista Big Show Big Show (Retro) Bret Hart Brock Lesnar Brock Lesnar (Retro) Chris Jericho Chris Jericho (Retro) CM Punk Diesel Edge Goldberg Hulk Hogan ‘Hollywood’ Hulk Hogan JBL John Cena John Cena (Retro) Kane (Retro) King Kong Bundy Mick Foley Randy Orton ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage Razor Ramon Ric Flair Ric Flair (Retro) Ricky Steamboat Sergeant Slaughter Shawn Michaels Shawn Michaels (Retro) ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin Ted DiBiase The Miz The Rock The Rock (Retro) Triple H Triple H (Retro) Ultimate Warrior Undertaker Undertaker (Retro) Yokozuna
With NWO more or less reunited with the entirety of its original roster, fans can finally pit the legendary trio against other factions like Evolution. Goldberg’s return to a WWE ring, while only digital, is something that gamers have been asking for for years, and should get longtime followers of the product excited. Meanwhile, the return of Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Batista, and many more famous grapplers are all welcome and set the stage for a number of classic bouts — although fans will have to pre-order the game to score The Ultimate Warrior.
There are still a number of grapplers that have yet to be confirmed for WWE 2K14, but 2K Games will get around to announcing those combatants at a later date. For now, however, the known roster should be more than enough to start generating significant buzz for the title.
What do you think of the roster for WWE 2K14 thus far, Ranters? Still some notable additions you’d like to see?
