WWE 2K23: 10 Things To Know Before You Buy

8. MyRise Is Still Rather Mysterious!

Meanwhile, details on MyRise itself are still thin on the ground.

"The Lock" and "The Legacy" are the two stories told in this year's version - which one you get depends on whether you're playing as a male or female CAW. One detail that is confirmed: MyRise now lets players import characters they've already created outside the mode.

That's a huge leap forward for the single-player story, because it means you won't have to build a bespoke wrestler when launching MyRise. This came as a bit of a nasty shock to many in 2K22, and it p*ssed folks off that they'd wasted time dipping into Create-A-Superstar ahead of time knowing they'd then check out the CAW story next.

2K has kept cards close to their chests on MyRise this year, but it'll still kick ass. Honestly, if it's anything like the 2K22 mode, then 2K23's version will be absolutely fine. Giving gamers brand new stories to plough through and letting them import that Jon Moxley AEW CAW to play as sounds sweet.
