Recently release details for WWE 2K24 were confirmed and it was announced that the game would feature three different covers. The Standard Edition of WWE 2K24 features Cody Rhodes on the cover while the Deluxe Edition features Bianca Belair and WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley.
A Forty Years of WrestleMania Edition was also announced featuring illustrations of legendary wrestlers such as Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, The Rock, The Undertaker and more. Brock Lesnar originally appeared on the cover, but he has since been removed.
WWE has now updated the cover for the Forty Years of WrestleMania edition of WWE 2K24 which no longer features Brock Lesnar. Instead John Cena’s image has been enlarged to fill the space that was once occupied by The Beast Incarnate.
