WWE Legend Kurt Angle Is Officially The WWE 2K18 Pre-Order Exclusive
As expected, Kurt Angle will be this year's pre-order exclusive in WWE 2K18 and we're getting two versions of the Olympic Gold Medallist! Hit the jump for details on that and comments from the RAW GM.
As soon as Kurt Angle made his return to WWE earlier this year, video game fans started speculating about him being added to WWE 2K18 and we now know that he's this year's pre-order bonus. During a press conference, Angle confirmed that two versions of his character - the "American Hero" from his initial WWE run and the ECW "Wrestling Machine" - will be in this year's instalment.
After saying that WWE 2K18 cover star Seth Rollins is "an incredible young talent" who "embodies everything it means to be like no one," Angle shared his thoughts on the honour of being given this spot in the game.
"I was thrilled to return to WWE earlier this year, be honored as a WWE Hall of Fame inductee and find a new home with the best in the business every Monday night as the Raw General Manager. And now, I get to follow in the footsteps of many incredible names, like Bill Goldberg, Sting, Ultimate Warrior and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and be featured as the WWE 2K18 pre-order character."
Now we know the cover star and pre-order bonus, chances are WWE and 2K Games will start rolling out the rest of the roster. It will be interesting to see how many new additions we get, especially with NXT's ever-expanding roster of talent. The likes of Ember Moon and Bobby Roode are a given, but here's hoping there are plenty of surprises to go with Angle!
WWE 2K18 is set to be released on October 17th for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Stay tuned for updates and let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
