This is the fourth installment in the 2K line for the WWE and it is going to be a big deal for the company. Lesnar also became the fifth playable character announced for the game, joining John Cena, Sasha Banks, Ultimate Warrior and pre-order bonus Goldberg, who faced off against The Beast at Wrestlemania XX.
This is the first time Brock Lesnar will be on the cover of a wrestling video game since 2002. He was the cover athlete for the popular Playstation 2 game “WWF Smackdown! Here Comes the Pain,” which took inspiration from his catchphrase at the time.
The game will be released sometime in October this year.
