2K and The Rock reveal hand-picked WWE 2K18 soundtrack

-

Whilst the main WWE 2K18 action will no doubt centre around what’s going on in the ring, a big part of the entire experience will be supplied by the soundtrack. Today 2K have announced that some guy called Dwayne Johnson – that’ll be The Rock to you and me – has produced and personally created the track listing.

Featuring 11 unique songs that represent many of The Rock’s favourite artists and musical genres, you’ll find a bit of hip-hop, rock, blues, R&B and soul included.

You can check out the soundtrack by heading over to Apple Music right now. It is available for streaming at apple.co/wwe2k.

“Music is one of my soul’s anchors. All genres. I’m excited to celebrate my WWE roots by partnering with the 2K and Apple Music teams and share some of my favorite hardcore training songs with fans all over the world,” said Johnson.

The WWE 2K18 in-game soundtrack, produced by Dwayne Johnson, will include the following artists and songs:

· Blues Brothers – “Soul Man”;
· Boston – “Smokin’”;
· Bruno Mars – “Runaway Baby”;
· Disturbed – “Down With The Sickness”;
· Eazy-E – “Boyz-N-The-Hood”;
· George Thorogood & The Destroyers – “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer”;
· Joe Walsh – “Rocky Mountain Way”;
· Kanye West – “Black Skinhead”;
· Kid Rock – “You Never Met a White Boy Quite Like Me”;
· ¡MAYDAY! (feat. Tech N9ne) – “Last One Standing”;
· Tech N9ne (feat. Krizz Kaliko, Serj Tankian) – “Straight Out The Gate”.

“Over the years we have collaborated with some of the world’s most popular artists, including Florida Georgia Line, Metallica, The Weeknd and Diddy to name a few, but partnering with one of our own is always special,” said Neil Lawi, Senior Vice President and General Manager, WWE Music Group. “Working with Dwayne is always a creative and inspirational experience, and we are thrilled to partner with him on this year’s WWE 2K18 soundtrack, and bring his diverse selection to our fans around the world.”

“For the past few years, we have presented music as an integral part of both WWE and WWE 2K culture by aligning with several big names in music and entertainment, from Sean Combs a.k.a. Puff Daddy for WWE 2K17 to our WWE Superstar John Cena® and Wiz Khalifa collaboration for WWE 2K15,” said Chris Snyder, Vice President of Marketing at 2K. “The opportunity to work with an individual as accomplished, down-to-earth and respected as Dwayne – our inaugural WWE 2K cover Superstar for WWE 2K14 – significantly complements the gameplay content and overall experience we look to deliver every year.”

WWE 2K18 will be coming to Xbox One and PS4 come October 17th 2017. A Switch version will appear a little further down the line. Don’t forget you can get Early Access by grabbing the Cena (Nuff) Edition of the game too.

An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore.
