The WWE 2K series is making a stop in Suplex City. Brock Lesnar was named Monday as the pro wrestler featured on the cover of WWE 2K17.
Lesnar, 38, is a four-time WWE world heavyweight champion and since returning to the company in 2012, he has been nearly unstoppable. His biggest claim was breaking The Undertaker’s 21-match undefeated streak at WrestleMania XXX.
“My career has been defined by dominating every opportunity presented to me,” Lesnar said in a news release.
Since 2K Games took over the video-game series from the now defunct THQ, three of the four wrestlers featured on the cover have been part-timers (Lesnar and The Rock) or retired (Stone Cold Steve Austin) at the time of the game’s release. Only John Cena was a full-time wrestler when he graced the WWE 2K15 cover.
Lesnar has been on hiatus from pro wrestling as he’s preparing for an on July 9 in Las Vegas. It will be his first fight in the octagon in more than five years.
WWE 2K17 is slated for an Oct. 11 release date for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
