WWE 2K24

WWE 2K24's MyFACTION mode is where I worked on one of my favorite features I've ever designed: Faction Wars. I totally re-designed Faction Wars to become a roguelite game mode, complete with randomized stages and various randomized rewards that players could earn throughout their runs.

​

I designed the underlying tech for the stages, implemented all the stages using modern level design principles, and designed and balanced the reward economy. There were over 6 types of nodes that players could interact with, and I hand crafted every single node on each of our 60+ stages.

​

Players would choose their starting lineup, apply Armor to their Superstars for that run, and engage with Choice nodes, where they had to make compelling narrative choices, Health Nodes, where they could choose between healing up their Superstars now, or earning a currency that would help their long term progression in the mode, and various other nodes that are a common sight in the roguelite genre.

​

I helped design most of the UX for the mode, including the Run Summary and Stage HUD, where players would be consistently informed of the critical information, so that they could make informed decisions at the various nodes.

​

All in all, I am very proud that I was able to work on one of my favorite genre pieces, while also elevating the quality of the experience for the players, and also elevate my craft along the way.
