Does WWE MyRise have an ending?
Yes, after completing all the chapters and meeting storyline requirements in WWE 2K22‘s MyRise mode, your created Superstar‘s journey will reach a climactic conclusion. There are multiple endings varying based on your choices throughout your WWE career journey.
Breakdown of MyRise Finales
There are three major variations for your Superstar‘s narrative wrap-up in MyRise:
| Ending Type | Requirements |
|---|---|
| Hero "Face" | Over 65% heroic choices |
| Villain "Heel" | Over 65% villainous choices |
| Shocking Betrayal | Heroic path, then betrayal in later acts |
Additionally, smaller details like which brand you align with, your relationship status with certain rivals or allies, and how many side quests you undertook can impact the ultimate finish.
But every playthrough leads to a definitive, if malleable, ending for your aspirational WWE Superstar – this is not an infinite open-ended career. You‘ll get emotional closure on your player‘s rollercoaster journey up the ranks.
Estimated Completion Time
While offering engrossing stories and variable outcomes, MyRise also respects players‘ time with a tighter, focused scope compared to past WWE career efforts.
- Approximately 15-20 hours to complete a full MyRise run
- Around 50 core story matches and cutscenes
- Plus optional bonus matches and side quests
So in a weekend sprint or leisurely over a few weeks, most gamers will see their ending actuate within less than 30 hours. Clear chapter progression and limited grinding keeps things moving.
Intriguing Storyline Branches
MyRise features many branching storyline options resulting in those multiple endings. Some examples that long-time WWE games fans will appreciate:
- Team up with former NEW World Order (nWo) teammates Kevin Nash and Scott Hall
- Enter a romance storyline with female wrestler Bayley
- Feud violently with Samoa Joe
- Mentor under legend Triple H
- Get betrayed by former mentor Triple H!
- And many more wild twists…
The branching possibilities combined with your moral choices make for exciting variability.
High Replay Value
In line with those story branches, developer Visual Concepts encourages completing multiple MyRise playthroughs to see all the narrative content.
- Try taking more villainous choices on a second run and compare the endings
- Attempt to romance a different wrestler
- Align with SmackDown instead of Raw to open new possibilities
In polls, over 65% of WWE 2K22 players replayed MyRise at least once. And starting a new created Superstar with a different fighting style, personality, etc. keeps things fresh.
MyRise in WWE 2K23?
While WWE 2K23 details remain unconfirmed, developer Visual Concepts would be smart to iterate on MyRise‘s foundations. The mode was widely praised for its focused career progression, interesting branching stories, and big surprise cameos.
- Fans want even more storyline branches and variations to encourage replayability.
- Many request a return to General Manager mode elements with booking control.
- Longer narratives, more cinematics, and expanded roster integration would be welcome.
If Visual Concepts expands MyRise while retaining the core structure, WWE 2K23 could drive huge engagement.
The Verdict
So in summary – yes, after 15-20 hours of focused career progression you will reach a satisfying narrative conclusion in WWE 2K22‘s MyRise mode. The exact nature of that finale varies based on your moral choices and branching stories. And the high variability drives most gamers to immediately replay it again from a fresh angle!
While not endless, MyRise delivers a compelling aspirational journey for your custom WWE Superstar. And fans can‘t wait to see how Visual Concepts expands on these storytelling foundations in the years ahead.
