WWE 2K23 Developer On Writing MyRise Mode

In an interview with Bashworld (via Fightful), WWE 2K23 developer Andrea Listenberger spoke about the writing for MyRise and noted everyone who worked on it wrote for WWE in the past. Here are highlights:

On the choices for players in MyRise mode: “I mean, I would even say that some players are going to want to play it through once and then go and play the story mode again because you can access different things, different elements based on some of the choices you make. I’m going to leave it at that because I don’t want to spoil it.”

On the writing process: “All of the writers for MyRise worked at WWE, and as you know, WWE may be famous for having swerves, surprises, twists, and turns; and we follow the product. We write to the product. So when you play MyRise, you’re going to have swerves, twists, and turns. You might be able to create a few of your own as your character.”
