2K has revealed what’s coming in its “innovative”,” “franchise-first” new MyFaction Mode.
“MyFaction is a new take on a classic team-building mode in which players collect, manage, and upgrade an array of WWE Superstars and Legends to create their ultimate four-person factions,” 2K explains via a press release. “Managers and Side Plates boost performance, while Logos, Wallpapers, and Nameplates allow for creative customisation.”

2K is also keen for you to know that “anything that players can unlock with Virtual Currency can also be unlocked with MyFaction Points”, and as it’s an “online single-player only experience […] players cannot gain a competitive advantage over other players by purchasing virtual currency” – or, in simpler terms, you can’t pay to win.
There are three types of in-game currency available in MyFaction; Points, Tokens, and a virtual currency called, uh, Virtual Currency. Points can be exchanged for card packs and contracts, Tokens can be used in the Token Rewards market to unlock powerful WWE Superstar and Legend cards, and Virtual Currency is available for purchase and can be used “exclusively in MyFaction on card packs, boxes, and contracts”.
