The roster for "WWE 2K17" will get a unique reveal at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). Artist Rob Schamberger will paint the faces of the fighters to appear in the game.
Schamberger will be at the 2K booth to bring the "WWE 2K17" updates to fans through art. Those who won't be able to attend the event can check out the paintings on WWE 2K social media.
It certainly will be an extremely fun and exciting way to know more about the upcoming iteration of the wrestling simulation video game and one that the franchise hasn't tried before.
At the moment, developer 2K Sports hasn't shared details on how big the "WWE 2K17" roster will be. "WWE 2K16" was touted to boast the biggest in the franchise yet and naturally, fans expect this year's installment to top that.
According to rumors, the Four Horsewomen might finally be included in "WWE 2K17." The current title did not have the group, but since Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, Charlotte and Bayley have gone more popular than they were, they will make it to the game.
Fans can also expect the superstars that left WWE to be absent in "WWE 2K17." That includes the likes of Cody Rhodes aka Stardust Adam Rose, who left this year as well as Wade Barrett and Cameron among others.
Interestingly though, it was announced weeks back that Goldberg, who is no longer wrestling in WWE, was revealed as pre-order bonus for "WWE 2K17."
As for the question of when "WWE 2K17" will become available, This Gen Gaming spotted a listing on the website of an unmentioned United Kingdom-based retailer where the release date was indicated.
"WWE 2K17" is reportedly landing in the U.K. on Oct. 21, but will be available as early as Oct. 18 in the United States. A PC launch wasn't mentioned, but iDigital Times expect it to drop early next year.
While there's no corroboration for this yet, fans hope that everything will be revealed during the E3 presentation for "WWE 2K17." The event takes place June 14 to 16 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
After this big reveal, Xbox Games with Gold members will get the chance to play "WWE 2K16" for free from June 16 to 19.
