2K and Visual Concepts has pulled back the curtain onWWE 2K23, revealing John Cena as the cover star and focus of the 2K Showcase, anew game mode called WarGames, improvements to MyGM mode, and more. Overall, based on this information, it seems to take the foundation laid by WWE 2K22 and build upon it with this new game.
As many know after all,WWE 2K20was a low point for the franchise, so low thatWWE 2K21was skipped over to better build the next game.WWE 2K22was a step in the right direction, butWWE 2K23seems to be taking that even further, which is good for the franchise. Of course, while a lot more will be revealed in the coming months, one of the biggest questions right now is what the playable roster will be. There’s not much to go on, outside the official press release, official screenshots, and initial (yet live-action) trailer, but some superstars have already been confirmed.

WWE 2K23 Playable Roster
It should be noted that theWWE 2K23roster will expand by a lot heading into release, though some superstars may be kept under wraps until launch. It should also be noted that anotherWWE 2K23trailer is set to drop tonight, January 23, duringMonday Night Raw. This article will be updated to reflect any new confirmations for the roster at that time.
Furthermore, fans should be aware thatWWE 2K23has a 5 DLC pack Season Pass (included in theWWE 2K23Deluxe and Icon editions) that will expand this roster beyond launch. It’s hard to say who else will be added in the post-launch window, but given thatBad Bunny gets his own pre-order pack, fans can expect non-wrestlers to appear as DLC too.
WWE 2K23releases on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X on March 17.
