BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
More modern grapplers have arrived for 2K and Visual Concepts’ WWE 2K24 today, with the Global Superstars DLC pack.
That’s cool
The biggest post-launch pack of new wrestlers yet for WWE 2K24, the Global Superstars* pack has officially dropped, bringing with it a set of characters that have a more worldly vibe. While the theme doesn’t carry all the way through the collection, Americans Jade Cargill and Michelle McCool standing out as exceptions, all of the inclusions are from countries outside of the good ol’ US of A.
Outside of the theme, Global Superstars is also heavily tilted towards female stars, with the Australian-American Nia Jax, Irish Lyra Valkyria, Japanese Kairi Sane featuring. That’s not to say it’s all ladies however, as the Puerto Rican Carlito and Mexican Dragon Lee are also on board to shake things up for your copy’s male roster.
Powerhouse Nia Jax is the current and two-time WWE Women’s Champion, Queen of the Ring and two-time Women’s Tag Team Champion. Making her WWE 2K franchise debut, statuesque Jade Cargill, one half of the current and two-time Women’s Tag Team Champions alongside WWE 2K24 Deluxe Edition cover Superstar Bianca Belair, brings superheroic size and strength to the ring. A member of the villainous Judgment Day faction, the crafty Carlito is a former United States Champion, Intercontinental Champion, WWE Tag Team Champion and World Tag Team Champion, complete with his shiny, red apple as a useable object. Lyra Valkyria is a former NXT Women’s Champion and rising star on the Raw roster. WWE Legend Michelle McCool is a two-time WWE Divas Champion and a two-time WWE Women’s Champion. The high-flying Kairi Sane is a former NXT Women’s Champion, two-time Women’s Tag Team Champion, and winner of the 2017 Mae Young Classic. Rounding out the pack, masked luchador Dragon Lee is a former NXT North American Championship and a member of the Latino World Order faction. Each playable character also comes with their own MyFACTION card, and they collectively bring over 77 new moves and taunts into the game, which can also be used for custom Superstars in the creation suite.
The Global Superstars Pack is available for individual purchase, or as part of Season Pass, which is included in the Deluxe Edition, and Forty Years of WrestleMania Edition of WWE 2K24. The previously announced ECW Punk Pack, Post Malone & Friends Pack, and Pat McAfee Show Pack are also available now.
2K press release
Don”t forget MyFACTION
As usual, the new downloadable content pack comes along with a drop for the game’s MyFACTION mode. Beast Series 2 and Ranked Season 4 have made their debut, along with the Slim Jim Macho Man Live Event, which is ongoing.
More news and notes for the mode include that the Superstar of the Month, Liv Morgan, a grappler who’s set to figure into a few Live Events. Morgan’s spotlighting comes in addition to a new Locker Code, that includes “Legends Series Diamond Andre the Giant, Diamond Eddie Guerrero ’05 & Amethyst The British Bulldog.***” Use code “GOINGGLOBAL” for that.
Oh, and there’s one more thing for those who haven’t yet bought into WWE 2K24. If you guessed that’d be a sale, you’d be right. And it’s a pretty darn good one too.
