WWE 2K18 Cover Superstar Announced
New York, NY – June 19, in the year of our Lord 2017
– "Be like no one." These four simple words likely generate
several reactions, but for WWE Superstar Seth Rollins™, they are
a master class in describing his unmatched work ethic,
disruptive mindset and definitive WWE career.
Since joining WWE in 2010, Rollins has done things on his own
terms. Like many claim but never accomplish, he was destined to
be different, forge his own trail and take no prisoners along
the way, even if it meant disrespecting history. The first move
on Rollins’ chess board: become the inaugural NXT® Champion in
2012 and put everyone on high alert. The second move: make his
WWE main roster debut at Survivor Series® later that year, align
with WWE Superstars Roman Reigns™ and Dean Ambrose™ to form The
Shield™ and rally against authority. As the pieces continued
moving, the accolades followed: two-time WWE Champion, United
States Champion, WWE Tag Team Champion and “Mr. Money in the
Bank®,” to name a few. And now, “The Kingslayer” stands tall
after a definitive checkmate: defeating Triple H® on WWE’s
grandest stage at WrestleMania® 33.
For every calculated action and result, there is no question
Rollins will prevail by any means necessary, and in doing so,
embody everything it means to be like no one.
In celebration of his in-ring accomplishments and bold
individuality, 2K today announced Seth Rollins as the cover
Superstar for WWE® 2K18, the forthcoming release in the flagship
WWE video game franchise. In addition, Rollins will personify
WWE 2K18’s worldwide marketing campaign – BE LIKE NO ONE – which
invites players to explore Rollins’ identity, as well as those
of several other WWE Superstars, while learning more about the
game. WWE 2K18 is currently scheduled for worldwide release on
October 17, 2017 for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment
system and Xbox One.
“As the WWE 2K18 cover Superstar and franchise ambassador, it is
my incredible honor and mission to ensure this game will truly
BE LIKE NO ONE – a calling card perfect for everything I stand
for – as it sets forth on its own unique path,” said Seth
Rollins. “Following in the footsteps of other WWE 2K cover
Superstars – Dwayne “The Rock®” Johnson, John Cena®, Stone Cold
Steve Austin® and Brock Lesnar® – I now carry the torch and
proudly represent a new generation of WWE Superstars. I am the
future, and the future can’t be stopped.”
“Each year, the WWE 2K franchise emerges with a unique identity,
impeccable authenticity, an incredible roster and the freedom
for players to customize and control the virtual WWE world
through its extensive offerings,” said Chris Snyder, Vice
President of Marketing at 2K. “In determining who truly
epitomizes BE LIKE NO ONE and represents WWE 2K18 to the fullest
extent, there was one obvious answer: Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins.”
