The pre-order bonus characters for WWE 2K19 are current RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey and Rey Mysterio who recently inked a two-year deal with the sports-entertainment company. With only two weeks left to go until the game releases to the public, WWE 2K19 Executive Producer Of Visual Concepts Mark Little spoke with 'Gadgets 360' and he reflected on the positives and negatives of last year's launch of WWE 2K18.

"We can't rewrite everything in one year," Little admits. "We do as much as we can and the next year we keep improving on it. Last year we did a very large overhaul to the rendering engine and used some new techniques. While the visual results were great, the performance wasn't where we wanted it to be."

Mark Little stated that one of the new features that the design team implemented into this year's game was to allow the user to get back into the momentum of a match.

"One of the challenges we put to our design team was to come up with a gameplay system that will allow users new to the game to get back into the momentum of a match," he says. "And on top of that, we wanted the system to provide a secondary strategy element for experienced gamers."
