Most Exciting 2K Showcase Storyline: Path of the Warrior
One of the biggest additions to the WWE 2K series is the 2K Showcase modes. With the ability to play through an entire extended feud or a character's career, fans are transported into a period of time that will live forever in the hearts of wrestling fans.
The most intriguing storyline in the showcase mode is the Path of the Warrior featuring The Ultimate Warrior. After a tenuous relationship with the WWE, The Ultimate Warrior was inducted into the Hall of Fame before WrestleMania 30. The Hall of Famer passed away just a few days later, on April 8.
This was a devastating blow to a wrestling community that was just getting to know the legend once again, but the developers at 2K Sports have found a way to pay homage to The Ultimate Warrior.
The storyline is focused on the career of Ultimate Warrior and features tons of extra content to make the mode feel authentic. From the playable WrestleMania, SummerSlam and Saturday Night's Main Event arenas to Madison Square Garden itself, wrestling fans will be able to recreate Warrior's career in an authentic setting.
For the gamers looking for the playable characters this storyline features, this is by far the most stacked DLC pack.
Not only are Hall of Famers Ultimate Warrior, Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant and Sgt. Slaughter involved in the mode, but legends like Honky Tonk Man, Rick Rude, Macho King and Colonel Mustafa are also unlocked. Add in current superstars with retro attire like The Undertaker and Hunter Hearst Helmsley, and Path of the Warrior looks incredible.
There are more than just playable characters, though, as the Warrior's mode also features a plethora of managers. The combinations will be endless when gamers unlock Jimmy Hart, Bobby Heenan, Paul Bearer, Sherri, Sid Justice and General Adnan. Fans are also given the ability to download Hall of Fame ring announcer Howard Finkel.
This storyline in 2K Showcase mode will have hardcore and casual wrestling fans studying The Ultimate Warrior's career and watching his rise to the top. Even after beating the mode, the possible matchups that can be made with the unlocked superstars will create even more enjoyment.
For the younger fans of wrestling, the Path of the Warrior mode will offer an enthralling storyline to follow, and it will also teach them the history of one of the biggest stars in the sport's history.
