Leading the charge are some exciting audiovisual enhancements aimed at further immersing players in the sports entertainment spectacle.
Fans can now customise their ring announcing experience by selecting between the iconic voices of Mike Rome, Samantha Irvin, or Alicia Taylor to call the hard-hitting action.
The broadcast team isn’t the only part getting an overhaul, as several camera and cinematic improvements have been implemented as well. For instance, when a wrestler tags in a partner, the camera went crazy and now tag team matches will look far better now.
Concerns about submission holds failing to properly trigger cutscenes or the camera improperly tracking referees and legal competitors have been addressed.
Visual Concepts has also added new options to toggle Super Finisher visual effects, ringside camera cuts, and even venue elements like lighting rigs when using Creation Suite editing tools.
Creation Suite, MyGM Upgrades, and More
Speaking of Creation Suite, the update brings a host of welcomed upgrades to this suite of customisation tools.
Gamers can now toggle unique arena features on or off at will, with improved object placement/validity detection to prevent clipping issues.
Other frustrating bugs like rope and turnbuckle texture customisations not applying correctly have been squashed as well.
However, the headlining new additions arrive in the fan-favourite MyGM mode, which sees significant tuning and gameplay refinements.
Managing an entire WWE brand has never felt more strategic, as AI opponents have been overhauled to provide a far more competitive challenge – especially on the new “Extreme” difficulty levels.
Key enhancements include AI managers doing a better job accumulating Hall of Fame trophies, more detailed pre-show match logistics being displayed, expanded superstar email conversations/relationships, up-to-date WrestleMania 39 arenas, and much more.
Perhaps most excitingly, players can now experience double championship entrances as part of pregame promo packages before major title unification bouts.
Other gameplay modes like MyRise, MyFaction, and Universe Mode also see their fair share of welcomed tweaks and bug fixes.
These range from resolving issues with Money in the Bank cash-ins and missing briefcases, to improving cutscene consistency and multiplayer stability across all online disciplines.
Last but not least, WWE 2K24 update 1.05 finally allows diehard fans to use the popular Zero character in modes beyond just the MyFaction Wars experience he originated from.
His reward card has been converted to a full persona card, unlocking his use across MyRise, Exhibition, and anywhere else you wish to take him.
