Even though it both is and isn’t a purely WCW collection, the just dropped WCW Pack for WWE 2K24 is excellent just the same.
Where the big boys play
So as mentioned, this new pack isn’t totally and completely what its name makes it out to be. Dubbed the WCW Pack, the latest DLC drop for WWE 2K24 is made up of classic World Championship Wrestling stars… but technically not completely. We know that sounds weird, but it won’t in a second.
We’re referring to the fact that the WCW Pack includes DDP, The Great Muta, Lex Luger, and… Mr.Perfect. No, not Curt Hennig, Mr.Perfect. That’s kind of an odd choice since the Mr.P character was Curt Hennig’s WWF/WWE persona, and he went by his real name while in WCW. Still, we’re not going to complain in the least, since his run in the Federation was miles better than his dub-see-dub one.
Also, he looks freaking great hitting Perfect-plexes here in this launch trailer.
Among the most beloved WCW stars, Diamond Dallas Page is a three-time World Heavyweight Champion, two-time United States Champion, and four-time World Tag Team champion, among many other in-ring accolades. He’s also a WWE Hall of Famer, accomplished film actor, and founder of the celebrated DDP Yoga program. His signature Diamond Cutter finishing move, “Bang!” taunt, and larger-than-life personality transcend sports entertainment.
Perhaps equally known for his time in WWE and WCW, Mr. Perfect presented himself as the ultimate athlete, capable of nailing impressive athletic feats on the first try, and dazzling audiences with his incredible grappling technique and devastating Perfect Plex finishing move. In WWE, he held an undefeated streak for more than a year, captured the Intercontinental Championship twice, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame. In WCW, he held the United States Championship and World Tag Team Championship, famously betrayed the Four Horsemen, and was a key member of the nWo and West Texas Rednecks stables.
One of the first Japanese professional wrestlers to gain global appeal, The Great Muta presented a frightening and charismatic persona, often wearing elaborate costumes, face paint or a mask, spitting “green mist” into the eyes of opponents, and revolutionizing an array of unique and lightning fast in-ring maneuvers such as the moonsault and shining wizard. A WWE Hall of Famer, The Great Muta is a former WCW World Television Champion and battled the likes of Lex Luger, Vader, and “Stunning” Steve Austin before he introduced his “Stone Cold” persona.
Known as “The Total Package” and “The Narcissist,” Lex Luger boasted one of the most impressive physiques in sports entertainment. A former two-time World Heavyweight Champion, two-time World Television Champion, Royal Rumble winner, and Slammy Award winner, Luger rose to fame in WCW with his devastating Torture Rack submission hold and feuds with the likes of Hulk Hogan, The Great Muta and The Outsiders, as well as joining the nWo Wolfpac stable. He also made a name for himself in WWE by body slamming the massive Yokozuna on the deck of a US Navy aircraft carrier and incapacitating opponents by striking them with a metal plate embedded in his forearm.

MyFACTION and more
Along with the meat and potatoes above, the WCW Pack also includes the MyFACTION cards for all of the collection’s wrestlers. That’s in addition to 55 new moves and taunts for those who like to dig into the game’s creation suite and the WCW Fall Brawl WarGames Arena, which was a surprise inclusion.
There’s more WCW fun to be had in MyFACTION too, with the arrival of the nWo Wolfpac. The legendary faction has a set of new Persona Cards landing, joined by a fresh Locker Code that seems decidedly not WCW-related.
Also new to WWE 2K24’s MyFACTION game mode for all players is the nWo Wolfpac card series, available November 15 and including Persona cards for Lex Luger, Hollywood Hogan, Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner, Mr. Perfect and Macho Man Randy Savage. Locker code “WARGAMES” will award a deluxe Singlet Supreme II pack, a Liv Morgan Galaxy Opal free agent card, and 15,000 VC.***
