WWE 2K23 has been officially revealed, with full details confirmed by 2K Games.

Whilst details have been confirmed for WWE 2K23 Showcase Mode, War Games, MyGM, and roster ratings, we're yet to see confirmed details for modes such as Universe Mode and MyFACTION.

With that in mind, we're taking a look at what could feature in these modes and when new details are expected to arrive.

LATEST - MyFACTION new features

MyFACTION allows players to create their own dream squad, which is composed of WWE Superstars and Legends. The goal is to collect and upgrade Superstars cards, in order to create the ultimate faction. Players can also participate in weekly or daily challenges, and earn plenty of rewards.

In WWE 2K23, MyFACTION introduced some exciting changes. The first one is the brand-new Head-to-Head Online mode.

Now, players will be able to compete against each other, challenging friends, or batling other members of the 2K community. This feature will provide players with endless hours of fun and a unique gaming experience.

Schedule live events will take place throughout the year, gifting players with plenty of post-launch content. This change offers an improved single-player experience, with one-of-a-kind match-ups. These matches are carefully picked by the talented WWE 2K designers.

There will also be plenty of unique cards to collect in WWE 2K23. These cards belong to different tiers and are aesthetically pleasing. Post-launch, the Pink Diamond tier will be included, adding even more astonishing cards to the game.

In this edition, plenty of Superstars attires are available for players to collect. This feature improves the immersion of the players, by allowing them to collect and use a wide variety of attires on their favourite Superstars.

MyGM changes

MyGM allows players to step into the role of a WWE General Manager. Players can draft a roster, manage budgets, sign free agents, choose various match types, arena locations, production elements and much more. The goal is to defeat the rival GM in a weekly ratings battle.

WWE 2K23 MyGM brings us plenty of new features, with the game providing players with a more refined experience. It expanded significantly from WWE 2K22 and will allow users to truly immerse themselves in the GM role.

This year's edition features five new GMs. They are Xavier Woods, Tyler Breeze, Eric Bischoff, Kurt Angle, and Mick Foley. Users will also be able to create and play with their own custom GM.

New brands were added, with players being able to manage NXT 2.0 and WCW. More than ten new match types were also added to the mode, including Triple Threat, Steel Cage, and Iron Man.

One of the most important new features of WWE 2K23 MyGM is the Keepers feature. It will allow players to retain some of their superstars ahead of the next season's draft.

The Hall of Fame is also making its way into MyGM. GMs that are capable of earning all ten Hall of Fame trophies, which are won by completing Seasonal Challenges, will secure their place in the WWE Hall of Fame.
