If you felt like the representation of human sweat in last year's WWE 2K15 was underwhelming, you may be happy to learn that WWE 2K16 is making advancements to how the bodily fluid is depicted. No, really.

2K Sports on Wednesday announced a long, long list of new features and improvements for WWE 2K16. Among the advancements made to visuals for this year's game is "more realistic sweat" and better-looking and more realistic hair and hair physics. This is becoming a trend in video games.

Other visual upgrades for WWE 2K16 include better crowd variety and "several thousand" new animations overall. Also, the clothing that professional wrestlers wear will benefit from a "full cloth physics system" that will allow attire to respond as realistically as possible to whatever is happening on screen.

WWE 2K16 launches on October 27 for the Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3. The game has more than 120 playable characters (the largest roster in franchise history), including cover star Stone Cold Steve Austin, as well a long list of current and former fighters, including Seth Rollins, Daniel Bryan, Dean Ambrose, Bad News Barrett, Paide, and Finn Balor.

Everyone who preorders WWE 2K16 will receive two playable versions of Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator from the popular action moves. In other news about the game, 2K has confirmed that WWE icon Hulk Hogan will not appear in the game, following his controversial comments.
