2K has finally revealed the focus of the two episodes of WWE 2K15's "2K Showcase" campaign. As explained last week, 2K is going for "a more focused, up-close-and-personal" story with 2K Showcase, which will explore two notable WWE rivalries. Today, we learned it will focus on the bitter rivalry between Triple H and Shawn Michaels from 2002 to 2004, as well as cover Superstar John Cena and CM Punk's rivalry spanning 2011 to 2013.
“The moment Triple H ended his longtime friendship with ‘The Heartbreak Kid’ by slamming him with a Pedigree was a defining moment in WWE history,” said Chris Snyder, Vice President of Marketing at 2K. “No fan can deny the fierce competition marking the notorious battles waged between Cena and Punk. These two rivalries are firmly etched in WWE history, and 2K Showcase enables fans to take part in those memorable experiences.”
2K Showcase will tell the stories of both rivalries through documentary-style video packages of classic WWE footage, authentic WWE Superstar commentary, and cinematic cut scenes. The story will be told across 33 matches which also task players to complete a set of bonus historical objectives that will unlock new WWE Superstars, Championship titles, and alternate attire that can be used in the other game modes. Additional 2K Showcase rivalries will be made available via downloadable content following the game's release on October 28, 2014 in North America.
