For WWE enthusiasts eagerly anticipating the next installment in 2K’s wrestling game series, January 22 is a date to mark on the calendar. This upcoming Monday promises to be a significant day as the much-anticipated WWE 2K24 is set for a reveal.

Following the well-received WWE 2K22, the series continued its momentum with WWE 2K23, offering an improved gaming experience. As the wrestling community eagerly awaits the unveiling of WWE 2K24, expectations are high for the game to surpass its predecessors and introduce fresh elements to the arena.

In previous years, WWE 2K games were typically revealed around SummerSlam and released in the fall. However, with the extended development cycle after the troubled launch of WWE 2K20, the franchise shifted its release schedule. Now, reveals align with Royal Rumble, building excitement and leading to releases closer to WrestleMania. WWE 2K24 appears to be following this tradition, with recent social media updates hinting at an imminent revelation.

The game’s logo was recently unveiled, accompanied by a Twitter profile update teasing “more to come 1.22.24,” indicating a substantial reveal on Monday, January 22. While the specifics of the WWE 2K24 announcement remain undisclosed, fans can speculate on potential reveals, including the cover athlete or, if fortunate, glimpses of gameplay footage. Considering January 22 falls on a Monday, there’s a possibility that the WWE 2K24 reveal might coincide with Monday Night Raw, although exact timing details are yet to be provided.

Adding to the intrigue, WWE 2K24 dropped a tantalizing hint about its content in the upcoming reveal. The official WWE 2K Twitter account shared an image of a referee shirt with cut-off sleeves, accompanied by a skull emoji. This subtle clue suggests the inclusion of “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and Special Guest Referee matches. Given Austin’s involvement in such matches after his retirement in 2003, the return of this match type would resonate with fans.

While Special Guest Referee matches were absent in WWE 2K23, fans are hopeful for their comeback in WWE 2K24. The January 22 reveal is poised to shed light on these mysteries, making it a day WWE enthusiasts won’t want to miss.
