About the Game
WWE 2K17 is a single-player and multiplayer professional wrestling sports simulation game. The game is set in the world of World Wrestling Entertainment, where players takes control of real-life wrestlers or custom-created characters to compete in matches, rivalries, and championship pursuits. There is no central story campaign, but players shape their own careers and narratives through gameplay modes such as MyCareer and Universe, where choices and match outcomes determine ongoing rivalries and events. Core gameplay revolves around one-on-one or multi-man wrestling matches, where players control their chosen wrestler using strikes, grapples, submissions, and special moves.
Story & Setting
Storylines unfold based on match outcomes, rivalries, and alliances, creating ongoing feuds across the roster.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Matches emphasize stamina and momentum management: successful attacks and reversals build up a meter that allows the execution of signature moves and finishing maneuvers. The game uses a reversal system with limited reversal stocks, requiring timing and strategy instead of unlimited counters. Beyond traditional matches, WWE 2K17 expands combat to include fighting outside the ring and backstage areas. These free-roaming environments allow the use of weapons, props, and environmental hazards to damage opponents. Weapons such as chairs, tables, and kendo sticks can be wielded, and objects in the backstage environment add interactive options to brawls.
