WWE 2K reported that Patch 1.04 for WWE 2K16 is going live in a few hours across all PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PS3, and Xbox 360 systems.
Most of the work in this update was finalized before the post requesting feedback after Patch 1.03. 2K is investigating the issues mentioned in that thread as potential fix candidates for the next patch.
The patch brings to the game the previously reported new entrance for Finn Balor, motion captured by himself, as well as the unreleased Dolph Ziggler title entrance and more. Additionally, the update fixes conditions for MyCareer trophies/achievements and addresses deformation issues with masks when applied to Custom Superstar.
