No, the 'Road To WrestleMania' mode of old isn't making a comeback, and neither is the 'WWE Showcase' feature that was loved so much. That's not what 'Road To Glory' is all about, and that's clear even though 2K are keeping tight-lipped about the mode for now.

This new gameplay mode will let players battle it out and vie to qualify for WWE pay-per-view cards by way of using one of eight new fighting styles. Details are fairly scarce for now, but this could mean that authority figures dictate whether or not your Create-A-Wrestler is good enough to work top shows like WrestleMania and SummerSlam, or it may be a way to push the importance of knowing one's style.

Whatever the case, let's have fingers crossed for some story crossover to help flesh this out.

Road To Glory appears to be an online competitive mode, and it'd be cool to see developers put some exclusive rewards that encourage player participation. How about unlocking old pay-per-view arenas if you make it to the grand stage?
