WWE fans should definitely keep an eye on Monday, January 22, as a reveal for the upcomingWWE 2K24will be taking place that day. TheWWE 2Kseries has been going strong since the well-reviewedWWE 2K22, with the following year’sWWE 2K23building on what came beforeand delivering an even better product.WWE 2K24is expected to raise the bar even higher, and it will be interesting to see exactly what the new game brings to the table.
Prior toWWE 2Ktaking a year off afterWWE 2K20’s disastrous launch, WWE fans got used to the games being revealed around SummerSlam and then released in the fall. The extended development ofWWE 2K22saw the franchise’s release schedule shift a bit so that now the games are revealed around Royal Rumble time and released closer to WrestleMania. It looks likeWWE 2K24is continuing that tradition, if recent social media posts are any indication.
WWE 2K24recently revealed its logo and updated its Twitter profile to say “more to come 1.22.24,” indicating a big reveal for the game is set for Monday, January 22. It’s hard to say exactly whatWWE 2K24will reveal come January 22; perhaps it will reveal its cover athlete, or if fans are really lucky, show off some gameplay footage. Since January 22 is a Monday, it’s possible that theWWE 2K24reveal will be paired with Monday Night Raw, but the exact timing has not been provided just yet.
WWE 2K24 Reveal Happening on January 22
WWE 2K24provided another interesting tease about what the new game might have up its sleeve come the January 22 reveal. The officialWWE 2KTwitter account shared an image of a referee shirt with the sleeves cut-off, along with the skull emoji, likely hinting at theinclusion of “Stone Cold” Steve Austinand Special Guest Referee matches. Austin was featured as a Special Guest Referee in many matches after his initial retirement in 2003, including some extremely high profile bout, and so it would make sense to bring the match type back with Austin’s involvement.
Special Guest Referee matcheswere featured in previous WWE video games, but were not available inWWE 2K23, so many would be glad to see them make a comeback inWWE 2K24. Regardless, fans will definitely want to keep their eyes peeled on January 22 for more information.
