Unveils WWE® 2K14 Cover Art Featuring The Rock®
New
York, NY – June 25, 2013 – 2K today unveiled
the WWE® 2K14 cover art featuring WWE Superstar
Dwayne "The Rock®" Johnson. The official
reveal, which took place during last night's episode
of Monday Night Raw®, showcased cover artwork
designed in partnership with "The People's Champion."
The cover art reflects The Rock's physicality and
signature in-ring pose. To further celebrate, 2K recently
launched a consumer contest for the opportunity to
create alternate cover artwork to be included with
WWE 2K14 retail copies.
"I
am exceptionally grateful to be chosen for the cover
of WWE 2K14 and serve as the first cover Superstar
under 2K's leadership," said The Rock, one of
the most recognizable Superstars in WWE history. "I
want the cover of WWE 2K14 to electrify the people.
I want the artwork to stand out and set a new standard
for all WWE video games from 2K, both today and in
the future."
Widely
considered one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all
time, The Rock – a third-generation competitor
who followed in the footsteps of his father and grandfather
– rose to mainstream fame in both tag team and
singles action during the late 1990s as part of the
company's highly regarded "Attitude Era."
His impressive resume currently boasts eight reigns
as WWE Champion, in addition to several reigns as
WCW Champion, Intercontinental Champion and WWE Tag
Team Champion. In recent years, The Rock returned
to WWE and spurred several historic moments, including
a victory on January 27, 2013 over CM Punk® at
Royal Rumble® to win the WWE Championship –
his first WWE championship reign in over ten years.
He was last in the ring at WrestleMania 29 on April
7, 2013, which saw The Rock in action against his
long-standing rival, John Cena®.
"WWE
2K14 represents a new era of the renowned WWE video
game franchise, combining signature gameplay with
2K's commitment to authenticity," said Chris
Snyder, Senior Director of Marketing at 2K. "The
Rock epitomizes a 2K cover Superstar. His credentials
are world-class, and that is something we aspire to
capture on both the cover and in the video game."
2K
recently announced an original cover artwork contest,
where one lucky consumer will have his or her artwork
immortalized as an alternate cover distributed inside
WWE 2K14 retail copies. To submit contest entries,
consumers will use Twitter to promote their images,
with the hashtag #WWE2K14Cover included in their tweets.
