"As the WWE 2K18 cover Superstar and franchise ambassador, it is my incredible honor and mission to ensure this game will truly #BeLikeNoOne – a calling card perfect for everything I stand for – as it sets forth on its own unique path," said Seth Rollins. "Following in the footsteps of other WWE 2K cover Superstars – Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, John Cena, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Brock Lesnar – I now carry the torch and proudly represent a new generation of WWE Superstars. I am the future, and the future can't be stopped."
In addition to naming Rollins as the WWE 2K18 cover Superstar, 2K unveiled details on WWE 2K18 Game Editions of its latest WWE video game. They are:
