According to a leak from the Microsoft Store, WWE 2K23 will debut in March and include John Cena on the cover as the star
It’s time for WWE 2K23.
The release of WWE 2K22 last year was significant for the storied wrestling franchise from the 2K Games. Given that longtime developer Yuke left after 2K19, the game’s release came roughly two years after the critically criticised WWE 2K20.
The following wrestling game from 2K Games might also be a big hit. After all, AEW: Fight Forever, which is also expected to release in 2023, could pose strong opposition. While 2K has remained silent about their upcoming WWE-branded sports game, information that has surfaced has clarified what fans might anticipate.

This is the possible leaked cover of WWE 2K23 and John Cena is the cover Superstar.
I don’t think it’s real because Cena is in his 2017/2018 green gear. Why choose that gear from over 5 years ago then his 2021 green gear or even his 20th Anniversary gear. pic.twitter.com/Zpmhxh0eIj

John Cena is rumoured to be the cover wrestler for WWE 2K23
WWE 2K23 data mined information was released by trustworthy leaker Aggiornamenti Lumia on Friday, January 20, in a since-deleted Twitter post.
The information in question was collected from the Microsoft Store’s backend and indicated that the cross-gen version of the game would debut on Xbox on March 17, 2023. This is presumably the day that all versions go on sale. John Cena was also shown as the WWE 2K23 cover star in the leak. It appears that most social media posts that have used the image have received copyright violations.
Nevertheless, it showed the famous performer doing his trademark “You Can’t See Me” position while wearing a green t-shirt and cap against a blue and red background. It’s unclear at this time whether John Cena will just appear on the cover of the cross-gen edition.
As always, the information above should only be considered preliminary. It is currently uncertain when 2K Games will formally reveal its plans for the next WWE game. However, a lot of fans are quite hopeful that the January 28 Royal Rumble broadcast would have a WWE 2K23 surprise.
