UPDATE: WWE is now selling Sting merchandise on WWEShop.com. Thus, his licensing of the character extends beyond just WWE 2K15.
Sting will be doing a signing promoted by American Icon Autographs on July 27th in San Diego. Hulk Hogan was booked for the 27th but his sold out quickly and they convinced him to change his travel plans for an additional signing on July 26th. With Sting signing on for the 27th, this will be the first time they are available for photo opportunities together.
ORIGINAL: It was announced on Monday’s WWE RAW that wrestling legend Sting will be a playable character in WWE 2K15.
The only way to get Sting as a playable character is by pre-ordering the game, which you can do now at Amazon.com.
There will be “2 Generations” of Sting in the game, both Surfer Sting and Crow Sting.
A video package aired featuring an orchestra, all painted their faces painted like Sting. As they played, Sting came down from the rafters, baseball bat in hand. This was the video promo that WWE filmed last month when they posted an open casting call.
This will be Sting’s first appearance in a WWE video game.
Here is the video clip featuring Sting that aired on RAW:
