There are two new modes in WWE2k19 that have been making people very excited. The first in the new Tower mode, which is similar to the structure of Mortal Kombat. You have a series of matches. Each one you win moves you up the Tower. Each tower is themed after a certain SuperStar or Era. This mode also plays host to one of the coolest contests ever held in a video game, the WWE2k19 Million Dollar Challenge. This challenge features WWE Champion and WWE2K19 cover athlete AJ Styles. There is a special AJ Styles Million Dollar Tower that can be found in Tower Mode. IF you can conquer this tower, you will be invited to send a video with your completion screen in the background explaining why you feel you can beat AJ Styles in the game. One fan will be chosen to compete against AJ Styles in the game. If that fan can beat AJ Styles, that fan will win one million dollars.
The second exciting announcement is the return of Showcase mode, which was a mode that relived classic eras and rivalries from the history of WWE. This year, the mode returns, and is focused on the career of Daniel Bryan, from his early days as the American Dragon, all the way up through his triumphant return to the ring. The mode will feature matches from throughout Bryan’s career, and the story will be told through newly recorded cutscenes featuring Daniel himself.
