2K and WWE 2K19 Cover Star AJ Styles Issue $1 Million Challenge

[Shawn Zipay]

Today, both 2K and their newly announced WWE 2K19 cover Superstar AJ Styles revealed a special $1 million (USD) challenge. I mean, you have the chance to win $1 million, not that the challenge itself cost $1 million to issue. Or maybe it did, who knows.

An unparalleled in-ring competitor and distinguished personality recognized globally for his accomplishments spanning nearly two decades, “The Phenomenal One” – also a massive video game enthusiast – will usher in WWE 2K19’s worldwide marketing campaign of “Never Say Never” while inviting fans to learn more about the video game. WWE 2K19 is currently scheduled for worldwide release on October 9, 2018 for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, the Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X and Windows PC.

2K also disclosed initial plans for the groundbreaking WWE 2K19 Million Dollar Challenge*. In a call to action issued by Styles today, eligible entrants can participate in the international contest* via PS4™ system and Xbox One in four steps:

• Beat a to-be-announced new mode in the game;
• Submit a winning promotional video that shows why you will beat AJ Styles in WWE 2K19;
• Make it to the semifinal round of competition and beat the other three semifinalists in WWE 2K19;
• As the finalist, compete one-on-one in WWE 2K19 against AJ Styles – and defeat him – to win one million dollars.

Additional details surrounding the WWE 2K19 Million Dollar Challenge are available at wwe.2k.com/milliondollarchallenge/rules, with further announcements to come later this year.

WWE 2K19 will start to be released on October 5, but only with certain deals for the game. I'll include the whole list of what you can buy and when you'll be able to play it below.
