According to Sports Gamers Online, the Create-A-Superstar team at Visual Concepts has introduced over 600 new parts this year. Advanced Customization has made a rather long vacation from WWE 2K22’s Create-An-Entrance. This enables players to put together entrance components, pyro, lighting effects, and other elements until they have their CAW’s grand entrance ready.
As for the WWE Universe Mode, During an interview with Screen Rant, WWE 2K23’s Creative Director Lynell Jinks and Associate Gameplay Producer Bryan Williams updated fans on how cutscenes will work in the upcoming game.
“With Universe, there’s some huge improvements that we made there to help tell the story and give users even more control than they’ve already had, which is crazy to think about,” said Jinks. “You can have actions that you want certain superstars to perform before a match, like, ‘Okay, I want Bobby Lashley to shake hands with MVP before the match, but at the last second, I want him to just punch him.’ Like, those are actions that you can actually assign to that match and watch those cutscenes play out and see how that kind of dictates your rivalry.”
