2K and GameStop Announce WWE® SuperToken™ Retail Availability
Biggest mobile game in WWE and 2K history delivers added value through limited edition collectible tokens featuring in-game content
New York, NY – March 21, 2016 – 2K and GameStop Corp. today announced that WWE® SuperToken™, the collectible token series offering in-game content for 2K’s popular mobile card-battling game, WWE SuperCard, is available now exclusively at GameStop retail locations nationwide.
Offered as a limited edition, WWE SuperToken delivers a power-packed lineup of WWE talent through 10 collectible tokens, including WWE Superstars John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose, as well as WWE Diva Paige. Each collectible token, available for $6.99, grants three cards in WWE SuperCard: one Ultra Rare card featuring the likeness of the featured WWE Superstar or Diva and two Rare mystery cards. The tokens can then be shared up to three times, giving others access to a Super Rare card of the featured WWE Superstar or Diva. In addition, each token will have a unique distribution quantity, making some offerings rarer in nature than others.
“Since its launch in August 2014, WWE SuperCard has become the biggest mobile video game in WWE and 2K history, captivating fans with its breadth of collectible cards, as well as variety of quick play and team-based action,” said Chris Snyder, Vice President of Marketing at 2K. “Our new partnership with GameStop to deliver limited edition content through WWE SuperToken presents exciting opportunities to extend the mobile gameplay experience through a retail platform and reach an even larger audience.”
WWE SuperToken in-game content is transferred to a mobile device and linked to a user’s WWE SuperCard account in one of two different ways. Consumers with NFC-enabled technology for Android can tap tokens against their devices to transfer the new cards. Alternatively, both Android and iOS users can utilize QR codes included with each WWE SuperToken retail package to acquire the content. In support, WWE SuperCard now includes an in-game QR scanner to help facilitate WWE SuperToken redemptions via QR code.
“WWE has some of the most spirited fans out there, and their passion for their favorite WWE Superstars and Divas is amplified though the power of video games such as WWE SuperCard,” said Eric Bright, Senior Director of Merchandising at GameStop. “Having an exclusive partnership with 2K to offer WWE SuperToken in our more than 4,000 GameStop stores nationwide allows for gamers everywhere to discover and experience new limited edition content like never before.”
