'WWE 2K16' Release Date & Roster: Terminator Joins Game as Playable Character But Only for Some
Pre-ordering "WWE 2K16" prior to its Oct. 27 release will come with a reward. Those who pre-order the wrestling simulator starting now will be given access to the playable character of Terminator from the "Terminator" movies, according to Engadget.
There will be two versions of Terminator in the game. One version will be Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator from the first movie and the other will be his character from "Terminator 2: Judgement Day." The "Terminator" playable character will not be available to players who purchase the game on Oct. 27 without pre-ordering it.
Schwarzenegger being involved in "WWE 2K16" makes sense because the actor is a big wrestling fan. In the past he has appeared at WWE events and was even inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this January.
"Terminator Genisys" is Schwarzenegger's latest movie and Take-Two hopes to use his fame and love for wrestling to help increase the pre-orders of "WWE 2K16."
2K Games announced Monday that the Terminator character would be a pre-order exclusive. The official "WWE 2K16" YouTube account created an official trailer that shows off the new Terminator character in the game.
The Terminator will not be joined by longtime WWE legend Hulk Hogan. Hogan's character has been removed from all WWE websites, and merchants are being told to stop selling his merchandise. A 2K Sports representative confirmed to video game website Polygon that Hogan has been removed from the game.
Hogan is accused of making prejudice statements in a video that was discovered by the WWE. The WWE says they are a diverse company and does not tolerate these types of statements by its employees.
