In some capacity, yes. They are no longer the sole developers of the series, however, and 2K is said have an increased influence over last year.

I wonder if the commentary will be more Universe mode friendly and more responsive

That doesn't instill me with confidence.

For those interested, here are some more details coming from WWEShop.com as they have it listed for Pre-Order. (Obviously, no Sting reference for a special pre-order).

Features


Collaborative Development: WWE 2K15 will see Visual Concepts join forces with long-standing developer Yuke’s to bring the WWE video game experience to next-generation formats. Praised for its efforts on 2K’s prominent NBA 2K series, Visual Concepts will bring its established pedigree to WWE 2K15 through design processes, gameplay innovations, commitment to sports simulation authenticity and more.

Gameplay Enhancements: WWE 2K15 will significantly improve the core gameplay experience through key additions and improvements designed to elevate the franchise now and into the future. From brand new motion capture technology to animation advancements to a host of to-be-announced features, WWE 2K15 will deliver a premium sports simulation in line with WWE’s television and live event offerings.

Next-Gen Superstars: WWE 2K15 will take advantage of the high profile capture technology seen in the NBA 2K series, with focus on the head, body and signature facial features, to create an unprecedented level of model authenticity (PS4, Xbox One only). Additional presentation improvements, including lighting changes, will dramatically impact the appearance of featured WWE Superstars and Divas, resulting in a highly life-like and natural look.

Feel the Noise: WWE 2K15 will further replicate the WWE television experience through extensive improvements to audio depth and quality. In-game commentary will see more than five times the amount of recorded lines in comparison with previous franchise iterations. In addition, all in-ring sound effects will be overhauled to further enhance the action.

New Game Modes: Stay tuned as we near launch to learn more about new game modes and surprises making their debut in WWE 2K15!

New game modes, and surprises? So there's more than just Sting? Looks like in just 1 year, 2K has turned what THQ was making a stale repetitive game, into a game that can feel like a new game.

I just keep thinking we're going to get some kind of "John Cena Legacy" mode. They did something similar with Lebron James in NBA 2K, and after John Cena said he added some touches of his own to this game, that's what comes to mind. I don't mind if they add something like that as long as there is some kind of story or career mode included as well. It's been long enough since we've gotten a true story mode that things could be fresh in that area once again.

John Cena saying he added his touch to the game just makes me think there's going to be some John Cena-type Soundtrack options.

Probably something more along the lines of a Super Cena game mode.

I sure hope not. Really holding out hope it has to go with Monday Night Wars. Unless thy have both like Beat The Streak and 30 Years of WM. Then I don't care.
