2K’s DLC offerings put a significant emphasis on WWE Legends, both in the enshrined WWE Hall of Fame members being added to the WWE 2K16 roster as well as through the newly-announced 2K Showcase mode. A new Legends Pack will offer WWE Legends including Big Boss Man, Dusty Rhodes, Lita, Mr. Perfect, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper and Trish Stratus.

Meanwhile, the new 2K Showcase mode will put a spotlight on rivalries through dream matches, including:

• “Macho Man” Randy Savage vs. Jake “The Snake” Roberts,
• Rikishi vs. The Rock,
• Alundra Blayze vs. Paige,
• Larry Zbyszko & Arn Anderson vs. Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat & Dustin Rhodes,
• Tatsumi Fujinami vs. Ric Flair,
• The Bushwhackers (Butch Miller & Luke Williams) vs. The Natural Disasters (Typhoon & Earthquake), and
• The Outsiders (Kevin Nash & Scott Hall) vs. Harlem Heat (Booker T & Stevie Ray).

Those looking to recreate the action from the next generation of sports-entertainment will have plenty to gain from 2K’s new DLC offerings. The new Future Stars pack will add Samoa Joe, Diego, Fernando, Blake and Murphy to the WWE 2K16 roster. A new Moves Pack and Accelerator will help gamers get their preferred Superstars or Divas to reach their virtual peak. A new feature called MyPlayer Kickstart, offered only on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, will also give players the chance to boost their chosen Superstars in the game’s MyCareer mode.

As always, WWE 2K16 fans will have the ability to obtain nearly all of the DLC offerings through 2K’s Season Pass. The WWE 2K16 Season Pass will cost $24.99 and will deliver DLC additions as soon as they become available.
