Publisher 2K and the WWE revealed today that they picked Seth Rollins as the cover star for WWE 2K18, the next entry in the successful wrestling game series. WWE 2K18 is due out October 17 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Seth Rollins is making way for the young wrestlers.
This is a generational shift for the franchise, as Seth Rollins represents a younger group WWE stars. Recent cover stars have included the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, John Cena, The Rock, and Brock Lesnar. These are all wrestlers that have a long history with the biggest “sports entertainment” company in the world, and they all started their careers with the WWE in the ’90s or early 2000s.
