While other video game franchises have championed their brand new career modes this year, 2K Games have quietly been improving on the WWE franchise's long running feature and have today unleashed it on the gaming world.

Suitably, for a game that has Brock Lesnar adorning it's cover, the career mode is an absolute beast. But it's not the only part of the game that has received a makeover, with almost every facet of 2K17 a major upgrade on it's predecessor, 2K16.

Whether you're climbing the ladder with your created superstar via the developmental territory of NXT or heading straight for the main event as a 'Paul Heyman guy' or maybe even taking control of every WWE brand in 'WWE Universe' mode, there's likely to be many an hour lost to 2K's latest offering.

And just for good measure, 2K have released a launch trailer to whet the appetite further:

Now excuse us, we've got an entrance video to create and a WrestleMania to main event.
