During the “E3” Entertainment Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center this past week, 2K Sports confirmed that John Cena, Cesaro, Bray Wyatt and Hulk Hogan were all confirmed as playable characters in the upcoming “WWE 2K15” video game.

A report from GameInformer.com has confirmed several other characters as well: Roman Reigns, Daniel Bryan, as well as WWE Divas AJ Lee, Naomi and Cameron.

Per WrestlingInc.com, here are some quick notes and updates on the progress WWE 2K15 is making:

* 2K Sports is promising a much more polished game. One area that will be improved is motion captures. WWE actually sends an “official ring setter-upper” to make sure everything is by the book when motion captures are being filmed.

* WWE 2K15 will feature at least five times the animations of any previous WWE game.

* Visual Concepts is working on the game in a major role and one of their new goals is for gameplay to have a pacing similar to that of a real WWE event with matches having less of a free-for-all tone.

* Yukes is also working on the game but Visual Concepts is doing most of the work.

* Superstars will seem a lot more life-like in their movements and facial expressions.

* Visual currently has 90% of the WWE roster scanned in.

* Visual Concepts is also improving the commentary. Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler have already recorded about 35 hours of new lines, most of them recorded together.

WWE 2K15 is scheduled for a release date of Oct. 28 in North America and Halloween for Europe.

Editor’s Note

The only superstars I’m even slightly surprised of seeing in the game are Naomi and Cameron. A WWE video game without Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan isn’t a true WWE game. I can only assume that Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose will also be added as well.
