2K Games announced today announced that a new combatant will be entering the fray in the upcoming WWE 2K16 with 2015 WWE Hall of Fame inductee and global action film icon Arnold Schwarzenegger. It won’t just be regular Schwarzenegger though, but two different versions of the world-famous actor: The T-800 from both The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day films.
“I’ve achieved many things in my life, but I’ve always said success means staying hungry and pushing the limits,” said Schwarzenegger. “I was honored to join the WWE Hall of Fame earlier this year, and now I’ll continue my WWE legacy with one of my biggest film roles immortalized in ‘WWE 2K16.’ Match the Terminator against Stone Cold Steve Austin, Seth Rollins or Daniel Bryan, and there’s only one possible outcome: Hasta la vista, baby!”
“Arnold Schwarzenegger is a living legend with universal appeal, a perseverance for greatness and a strong relationship with WWE, including his recent Hall of Fame induction, all of which make him an incredible fit for ‘WWE 2K16,’” said Chris Snyder, Vice President of Marketing at 2K. “He’s a force to be reckoned with and defines what it means to raise some hell. Through his ‘WWE 2K16’ pre-order inclusion, fans simply can’t beat the opportunity to play as the Terminator in a WWE ring.”
The playable characters will be available for those who pre-order the game at participating retailers for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, as well as Xbox One and Xbox 360. WWE 2K16 is scheduled for release on October 27, 2015 in North America and October 30, 2015 internationally. You can pre-order your own copy of the game by clicking here.
