WWE 2K22 Covers, Pre-Order, and Early Access Details Possibly Leaked Ahead of Reveal
Fans waiting to see who would be on the WWE 2K22 covers may have gotten some spoilers answering that question. An individual online appears to have leaked details about the upcoming WWE 2K game, with images of several different covers. In addition, there are some WWE 2K22 pre-order details that surfaced. Here’s what we know so far ahead of the official reveal.
WWE 2K22 cover stars leaked online?
The last time fans got a WWE 2K video game was 2020’s WWE 2K Battlegrounds, more of an arcade-style wrestling game with missions. However, many fans are craving the return of the flagship WWE 2K games, as there’s been a hiatus since WWE 2K20 came out in October 2019. With the new WWE 2K22 game, that wait will soon be over.
On Saturday, June 15, a tweet arrived via Nils Ahrensmeier in which he shows off several different covers for the upcoming WWE 2K22 game. Those covers show WWE superstar Rey Mysterio on the front in a vivid display.
One cover has a headshot of Mysterio wearing his colorful mask. The other cover is more of an action pose with Rey flying through the air with bright streaks of various colors trailing behind him.
On his Twitter bio, Nils lists himself as an 18-year-old writer and also suggests people can “DM” for tech, journalism, and politics tips. While the covers haven’t been revealed or confirmed by 2K, they would make sense. Rey Mysterio appeared in last year’s WWE 2K22 teaser fans saw for the upcoming video game.
By the way, Rey could be one of several WWE 2K22 cover stars, as Nils gave some other interesting details about the new game’s other editions.
Additional details leaked for pre-order, Undertaker edition
Based on additional tweets that Nils posted under the cover images, there will be three editions of WWE 2K22. In addition to a Standard Edition of the game, there will be a WWE 2K22 Deluxe Edition. Most likely these are the two covers shown above with Rey Mysterio.
However, there’s also the WWE 2K22 nWo 4 Life Edition which would feature the iconic stable of superstars who donned black and white and made their entrance to that funky guitar music. That could give additional cover stars for the game unless it is simply the nWo logo on the front.
Nils’ tweet also mentions a special pre-order bonus called The WWE 2K22 Undertaker Immortal Pack. His tweet suggests that comes with the WWE 2K22 Deluxe Edition and the nWo 4 Life Edition of the game.
This Undertaker Immortal Pack will include “three additional Undertaker personas: Phantom Mask Undertaker, Lord of Darkness Undertaker, Boneyard Match Undertaker, MyFACTION EVO cards for Undertaker, and MyFACTION Perks and Bonuses.”
The other important detail mentioned is a 3-5 days early access available on March 8. That would seem to put the official WWE 2K22 release date at Friday, March 11, or Sunday, March 13. Friday obviously makes more sense there, so March 14 could also be a potential date, or even Tuesday, March 15th.
Keep in mind the above “leaked” WWE 2K22 covers and pre-order details are unconfirmed, so take the information with a grain of salt. Most likely, 2K will officially reveal the covers, pre-order, and other details in the coming weeks, leading up to release date.
