We officially know now who will grace the cover of the upcoming WWE 2K19 video game.
On Monday morning (June 18, 2018), it was officially announced by 2K Games that WWE Champion AJ Styles, who is fresh off a title defense over Shinsuke Nakamura in a Last Man Standing Match at Sunday’s WWE Money in the Bank pay-per-view event in Chicago, Illinois at the Allstate Arena, will be the cover star.
WWE 2K19 will be released on October 9, 2018 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. As of this writing, 2K Games did not reveal a trailer for the game.
Styles joins some big names that have graced the cover of the video game. Since the first WWE 2K game back in 2014, WWE has featured just one Superstar on the box cover. In 2014 it was The Rock, followed by John Cena, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and Brock Lesnar, and Seth Rollins last year.
2K Games has yet to officially announce the pre-order bonus character but a report came out last week that revealed who it would be. We won’t spoil it here but for those who want to find out, please click here.
