WWE 2K14 preorders get Ultimate Warrior

2K today announced that Ultimate Warrior will be a preorder bonus for WWE 2K14. The playable character will be exclusive to those who reserve a copy of the fighting game for the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 from participating retailers.

"It was my good fortune to be his creator and performer, and I am humbled by all those fans who've not only kept his legacy alive, but deepened it over time," Warrior said in a statement.

Ultimate Warrior made his WWE debut in 1987 and is known for his ring entrance and personality, among other traits.

"Fans love him, opponents fear him, and everyone can agree that he's one of the most iconic Legends in WWE history," said 2K senior director of marketing Chris Snyder in a statement.

WWE 2K14 launches October 29 in North America and November 1 internationally.

2K parent company Take-Two Interactive acquired the World Wrestling Entertainment license for video games earlier this year following THQ's bankruptcy. The multiyear licensing agreement will see WWE games continue to be developed by Yuke's.
