WWE 2K18 Roster: Photos of first 47 superstars announced

2K Games is once again bringing WWE into our living rooms and under our control with the latest in their annual Sports Entertainment simulator, WWE 2K18. As is tradition, the annual roster reveal has hit, courtesy of our friends at IGN.

It's also worth noting that the game's commentary team has been switched up. Michael Cole will still be providing lead commentary, as usual, but this year he'll be backed up by his usual Monday Night Raw cohorts, Corey Graves (who you can see in the video below, along with Renee Young and Goldust) and Byron Saxton. The initial list doesn't have Brock Lesnar and many other top stars which will be announced at a later date.

This year, WWE 2K18 will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch. This will also be the first year that the series is not available not previous generation consoles,

So, with that in mind, let's take a look at who we know will be playable in this year's game (Picture credits: IGN):

And that's just the first week. 2K and IGN plan on announcing more additions to the roster next week in a video featuring Samoa Joe (so the odds are pretty good that Joe will be among those announced). Kurt Angle has already been announced as the premium download for those of you who pre-order the game, and Seth Rollins is on the cover, so you can pretty much expect him to be in it, too.

WWE 2K18 will be available October 17th, 2017.
