WWE 2K23 will be released soon. It’s possible, but is it true? Despite the widespread belief that WWE 2K22’s sequel will arrive in early 2023, WWE has remained tight-lipped. Talks with EA have even been reported.
As soon as Summerslam comes around, we can expect the first WWE 2K23 trailer to be released. Everything we’ve learned so far about WWE 2K23, such as the release date, roster, and initial fan wishlist, has been rounded up in case that does happen.

Is WWE 2K23 Going To Be Released?
The most important question of all. WrestleMania 2K22 was Visual Concepts’ response to the disastrous WrestleMania 2K20, bringing a new level of physicality, user-friendliness, and cosmetic realism to the series. Patches since it was given a 3.5-star rating by GR have only strengthened its position.
Rumors began to circulate soon after the game was released, claiming that WWE had quietly severed ties with 2K and that 2K22 would serve as the series farewell. Wrestling magazine Fightful reported in March that WWE had even held discussions with EA. Stephanie McMahon, the new CEO, praised the recent release but made no mention of NBA 2K23 in her company’s May financial call.
Having taken nearly a year off to improve the game engine, “we worked hand in glove with our partners at Take-Two Interactive to listen to our customers and fans and earned their trust by delivering a game that exceeded their expectations,” she stated. Metacritic reports show that “WWE 2K22 was the highest scoring game in the franchise’s history on Xbox and PlayStation platforms.”
WWE 2K23 Release Date
The exact date of the release of WWE 2K23 is probably the biggest unknown when it comes to the game’s eventual release. A late fall release window in September or October has been a staple of the WWE series for years.
Problem is 2K won’t have a selling aspect to WWE 2K23, apart from Cody Rhodes
If they included Fiend in ‘23 (providing Fiend returns), 2K would have a major bonus to attract more sales
Plus, 2K said that they are completely focusing on ‘23. They won’t work on ‘22 any more

WWE 2K20 was originally scheduled to be released on October 22, 2019, but some unexpected events led to the game’s release date being pushed back significantly for WWE 2K22. WWE 2K22’s release date has been postponed to March 11, 2022, due to the cancellation of WWE 2K21 and the subsequent delay in order to further solidify the quality of the most recent title.
WrestleMania 38 may have been a major factor in the title’s success and overall buzz because WWE 2K22 launched just three weeks before WrestleMania 38. So far, we don’t know which of those two release windows they’ll go with, but based on 2K’s past behavior, we expect one of those two launch dates.
Friday, October 21, 2022, or Friday, March 10, 2023, are the most likely dates for WWE 2K23’s release, according to a new report. In either case, WWE 2K23 will be released just before Survivor Series or just before WrestleMania, and the marketing for it will most likely be tied to those events.
What’s On The WWE 2K23 Features Wishlist?
A number of great suggestions for WWE 2K23 can be found on the excellent independent fan site Operation Sports, as usual. It would be nice if rosters were shareable, according to Luke Skywalker. For example, a WCW 1996 roster could be created by a fan and then downloaded in one go.
Wrestlers can be fired or brought in by the GM, or new players can be added to the roster in an existing Season mode. I don’t expect the roster to be the same three years from now. Some of the wrestlers on the roster aren’t even working for WWE at the moment.”
It’s not uncommon for fans to wish for custom entrance themes, but as SmashMan points out, technological limitations are likely to preclude this. We had custom music on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, but it disappeared on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One,” he says in his blog post.
As far as I’m aware, only two games (Fire Pro Wrestling and MLB The Show) allow players to create their own soundtracks, and neither of those games is available on Xbox One. Xbox does not support it in the same way Sony did/does, so it is left out to keep the experience equal across platforms.”
WWE 2K23 Trailer
There is not any announcement about the trailer of the WWE 2K23. As a result, we can expect to learn more about WWE 2K23 in August 2022 or January 2023, depending on the time of year. Watch the previous trailer.
