WWE 2K15 and NBA 2K15 Confirmed for Next-Gen Consoles

During an earnings call Take-Two president Karl Slatoff confirmed that both the NBA and WWE franchises will be making their debut on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One this year.

CEO and chairman Strauss Zelnick made the following comments on the future of the WWE franchise:

Our WWE franchise has quickly proven to be a successful addition to our portfolio. Sales of WWE 2K14 have exceeded our expectations and the title is being supported with add-on content including a Season Pass featuring many fan-favorite WWE superstars and legends. We believe there is a meaningful opportunity to grow this series by further leveraging 2K's marketing power and development expertise.

He went on to say the following regarding the success of Visual Concept's NBA 2K series:

 2K builds upon their legacy of delivering the highest graded and top selling basketball video game with their current next-gen releases of NBA 2K14. The title has become the fastest selling release in history of our NBA 2K franchise with sell-in to date of more than 5 million units across console and PC.

WWE 2K14 was the first game that Take-Two released since it acquired the rights to the franchise after the collapse of THQ last February.
