NXT fans, rejoice! During a conference call earlier this week, Paul “HHH” Levesque announced that a special NXT Edition of WWE 2K17

Exclusive to the PS4 and Xbox One, this rare $100 special edition (which can be pre-ordered starting today) includes a lithograph signed by the “King of Strong Style” Shinsuke Nakamura, an 8” collectible figure of Finn Bálor, and NXT TakeOver: London collectible cards that each come with an actual piece of ring canvas from the event. It also includes the Goldberg pack, featuring both WCW and WWE versions of Goldberg, plus playable WCW Monday Nitro and Halloween Havock arenas.

Not only that, but fans will get 50% more points at NXT in MyCareer, a useful addition while training at the WWE’s Performance Center, also featured in the game. And of course, players will be able to take on the roles of NXT stars like Shinsuke Nakamura, Apollo Crews, and Nia Jax. (Xbox 360 and PS3 owners can access these characters by purchasing them as downloadable content on launch day, but Xbox One and PS4 owners who buy the standard edition will have to wait until the release of the NXT Enhancement Pack later this year.)

Members of the WWE Universe anxious to get their hands on a Bálor figurine will have to move fast though, as only 50,000 copies of the NXT edition will be available worldwide. When asked why, Shinsuke Nakamura (also on the call) explained part of the reason was to ensure he didn’t keel over from the number of lithographs he had to sign. “I still have 10,000 more [to go]”, he laughed.

WWE 2K17 is developed by Yuke's Media Creations and published by 2K Games. The game will be available for the PS4, Xbox One, PS3, and Xbox 360 October 11th, 2016.
