WWE 2K20is set to launch on October 22, and it’s bringing with it one of the most unique modes that we’ve seen for a professional wrestling game. TheWWE 2K20Originals mode transforms the world of the WWE to fit a variety of different themes, and now all fourWWE 2K20Originals have been revealed.
We’ve known about theBump in the Night DLCfor quite some time, but now we can confirm that it will be followed by Wasteland Wanderers in late 2019, as well as Southpaw Regional Wrestling and Empire of Tomorrow at an undetermined point in the future. The Bump in the Night DLC will be horror-themed, whereas Wasteland Wanderers looks like aMad Max-style post-apocalyptic wasteland. Southpaw Regional Wrestling is based on the fictional parody wrestling company of the same name that can be watched on the WWE Network, and Empire of Tomorrow looks like a sci-fi, futuristic take on WWE.

Unfortunately, those who want theWWE 2K20Originals will either have to purchase them separately or pick up the Deluxe or Collector’s Editions of the game. Those who pre-order any version ofWWE 2K20will get the Bump in the Night DLC at least, which is nice since it’s day one DLC. The Bump in the Night DLC also includes fan-favorite character"The Fiend" Bray Wyatt, so at least those who purchase in advance won’t have to pay extra to play as him.
TheWWE 2K20Originals is an interesting experiment, and if it’s successful, one has to imagine that more unique content will be in the works for future games. However, it remains to be seen if fans will enjoy having these supernatural elements mixed in with the other game modes, but that appears to be what’s happening withWWE 2K20.
TheWWE 2K20MyCareer modewill include some horror themes, and in fact, will have players travel to what appears to be literally Hell itself. It’s unclear just how hard theWWE 2K20MyCareer mode will lean into these kinds of elements, but they definitely seem to be a big focus based on the trailer.
Luckily, pro wrestling fans won’t have to wait much longer to find out, asWWE 2K20’s launch is just days away.
WWE 2K20launches on October 22 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
