On the digital contents, the "WWE 2K18 Cena (Nuff) Edition" gives players more additional playable characters in the roster such as Batista and RVD. There will be variants of the Cena characters: one based on his appearance at the ECW One Night Stand event in 2006 and another inspired by his stint at WrestleMania 26.
The WWE 2K18 Cena (Nuff) Edition also includes the Kurt Angle Pack that includes two versions of playable Kurt Angle characters.
Meanwhile, the Cena-themed special edition will automatically include all the digital contents found in the "WWE 2K18" Deluxe Edition such as the four-day Early Access privilege and the game's Season Pass for the upcoming expansion titles of "WWE 2K18."
The package was released to celebrate Cena's 15 years in the WWE. He first appeared in a SmackDown episode on June 27, 2002 where he accepted a challenge posed by Kurt Angle.
While Cena lost in his first game, he quickly gained the attention of fans, especially after being congratulated by already well-known WWE wrestlers such as the Undertaker.
Kurt Angle appears to still remember Cena's first-ever WWE match vividly and told Fox Sports in a recent interview: "I was his first match when he started in WWE, and I knew right then that he was very special." He added: "I wouldn't put him at the very top of the list, but he is one of the best."
"WWE 2K18" will be released on Oct. 17 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and the Windows PC.
