News: 2K Sports revealed earlier today how they plan to celebrate the upcoming WrestleMania 30 in their newest game, WWE 2K14

WWE 2K14 is coming out later this year and earlier today 2K announced that it will include the 30 years of WrestleMania mode, an unprecedented single player campaign featuring iconic WrestleMania matches and an unparalleled roster spanning three decades of WWE history. Beginning with the inaugural WrestleMania, the nostalgic journey takes players through more than 45 matches, including the legendary match between Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 3. Some other matches featured will include The Rock vs Hollywood Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania 18 and the “once in a lifetime” bout between the Rock and John Cena that took place in Miami for WrestleMania 28. The 30 Years of WrestleMania mode is inspired by the forthcoming WWE milestone, WrestleMania 30, scheduled for Sunday, April 6, 2014 at the Mercedes Benz Superdome in New Orleans.

WWE 2K14’s 30 Years of WrestleMania Mode will organize matches into a progressive single-player campaign, with the format curated by five distinct eras in WWE history. Unique presentation elements transport players through the different eras, including authentically recreated arenas, WWE Superstar entrances and ring attires, as well as era-specific graphics, screen filters and other presentation elements. In addition, extensive WWE-produced video packages and in-game, cinematic cut scenes set the stage and provide detailed background information on key matches. Historical objectives encourage players to authentically replicate popular match moments, while completing objectives will unlock a host of rewards, including additional playable WWE Superstars, alternate attire options, new arenas and WWE archive photography.

“For nearly three decades, WWE has inspired millions worldwide through the historic, cultural and undeniable phenomenon that is WrestleMania,” said Chris Snyder, Senior Director of Marketing at 2K. “Through the 30 Years of WrestleMania Mode in WWE 2K14, players can now relive their favorite nostalgic and recent WrestleMania moments – from an incredible roster to authentic presentation and match play – in a unique and engaging way.”
