WWE 2K17: Shinsuke Nakamura, Apollo Crews And Nia Jax Confirmed
Finn Balor, Samoa Joe and Bayley also in?
Triple H has just dropped a load of details relating to the forthcoming release of WWE 2K17, ahead of next month's assumed SummerSlam roster reveal. We're getting a Collector's Edition (for $99.99) that includes the Goldberg pre-order content, special signed collectible artwork, hugely collectible Topps cards (including bits of the actual NXT TakeOver London ring canvas) and some NXT in-game content.
As part of the announcement, the NXT supremo also revealed three new playable characters for the game, with Shinsuke Nakamura, Apollo Crews and Nia Jax all joining the already announced roster.
The cover of the Collector's Edition also seems to suggest that we'll get to see Demon Finn Balor in there (as does the inclusion of a Demon 8-inch statue as part of the additional content), and Samoa Joe, Bayley and Alexa Bliss are all also featured on the artwork. It would be extremely odd if they weren't also going to be on the NXT side of the roster.
2K Games also confirmed to us that Nakamura will actually be a Collector's Edition exclusive on launch and not in the full game initially. Whether that "on launch" qualification means he's coming later remains unconfirmed, but there's a pretty strong chance that's the way they'll go.
