WWE 2K’s perennial game-mode ‘WWE Universe’ is undergoing a few changes for this year’s game. 2K Studios have released details of the latest updates for the fan-favourite mode, adding some extra details that will allow players to have even more control over their major and minor shows, their fantasy booking and even the cutscenes that take place within their stories.
These are the following changes and additions made to this year’s Universe mode:
- Major and minor show match limits have increased from 7 to 9.
- Pay-Per-View match limits have doubled from 7 to 14.
- The number of championship titles per major show has increased from 6 to 7.
- Simultaneous rivalries on major shows have increased from 3 to 4.
- Pay-Per-Views can be co-hosted by up to 3 major shows versus the previous 2.
- Players have more freedom to delete and add promos and matches.
- 50 of the most-used cutscenes have been reshot with female mocap actors to look more authentic when female Superstars are used.
- 25 new cutscenes have been added.
- 3,040 new promo lines are in the game.
- Custom Matches can now be included in Match Tables, along with new Mixed Tag Matches.
- New Championship Match setting in Match Tables can be used to make certain matches a title match.
- Main Event matches in Match Tables have been tweaked so that those match types are more likely to occur on the show (Example: Royal Rumble match at the Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View).
- New rivalry content includes options such as low-intensity enemies making peace after a single Pay-Per-View or low to mid-intensity allies slowly falling out over several weeks instead of a sudden turn.
- The overall menu flow has been streamlined to make it more accessible to those new to Universe Mode. All deeper options are still available for experienced players.
Universe Mode has often been ignored by 2K during their yearly updates. It’s great to see a handful of new updates that should give everyone’s Universes a fresh feel, providing us with more reasons to keep coming back to see if the feud between Rusev and Jey Uso will ever truly end.
The 2K press release has also revealed the updated models for certain roster members. Ali, Shinsuke Nakamura and Fire & Desire have all been given new models and attires for 2K20, you can check these out here.
