WWE 2K18 DLC and Season Pass Announced
2K announced Wednesday the Season Pass and downloadable content offerings for WWE 2K18, adding a new competitive level to the highly anticipated WWE video game.
The return of The Hardy Boyz, the accelerated track to MyPlayer stardom and a slew of new moves are among the offerings included in the WWE 2K18 DLC packs. Moreover, the WWE 2K18 Season Pass will include access to all of these announced DLC offerings.
2K confirmed details for five DLC packs, each designed to boost the WWE 2K18 roster, the in-game move sets and playable character attributes. The renowned video game publisher will begin releasing the individual DLC packs in late 2017 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC.
Players looking to pick up all of these DLC packs and save a little money can also purchase the WWE 2K18 Season Pass. For only $29.99, Season Pass subscribers can gain access to the DLC offerings listed below as they become available.
Details for each WWE 2K18 DLC pack are as follows:

WWE 2K18 is one of the most anticipated in many years. It features a new graphics engine, which is evident in the screen shots and video released so far that show a far better looking game than last year. The popular Universe Mode has received a much needed update, as has MyCareer.
While the Legends Pack announced in the press release might not be as exciting as some of the names that were DLC in recent years, many of the biggest names of wrestling’s past are already in the game. That said, the addition of two of the greatest tag teams in wrestling history with the Hardy Boyz and the Rock ‘N Roll Express is certainly nothing to gloss over. The NXT pack should be extremely popular if only for the the addition of Aleister Black to the game.
