'WWE 2K17' Roster Update: 35 New Wrestlers Revealed Via Leak

Another week, another batch of wrestler reveals for WWE 2K17.

While IGN is supposed to be the one to reveal the new additions to the game's roster each week after posting a teaser image, one fan has spotted images of the to-be-announced wrestlers ahead of time.

Komenda (via GamesRadar) noticed that the IGN app's search function revealed 35 yet-to-be-confirmed wrestler images, so it seems safe to assume that these are the official roster reveals for the week. Komenda rounded them all up in a post on Imgur that you can check out here.

So, who's joining the roster this week? Newcomers to the game series are AJ Styles, Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch and Dana Brooke. While they have technically appeared in a WWE game before, the Dudley Boyz will also be making a return to the series after more than a decade-long absence.

Returning after an appearance in WWE 2K16 are Alundra Blayze, Arn Anderson, Bam Bam Bigelow, Bo Dallas, the Bushwhackers, Christian, Curtis Axel, Dolph Ziggler, Emma, Eva Marie, Fandango, Kofi Kingston, Lita, Mr. Perfect, Naomi, Natalya, Neville, Randy "Macho Man" Savage, Ravishing Rick Rude, Shawn Michaels, Stardust, Sting, Summer Rae, Tamina, Tatsumi Fujinami, Trish Stratus, Tyler Breeze and Xavier Woods.

In total, that's 35 additional wrestlers added to the game's still-growing roster. Last week saw the addition of 22 wrestlers to the game's roster in the form of Alicia Fox, Andre the Giant, Baron Corbin, Big E, Billy Gunn, Braun Strowman, Bret Hart, the British Bulldog, Cesaro, Charlotte, Daniel Bryan, Edge, Finn Balor, Hideo Itami, Jake "the Snake" Roberts, Kalisto, Randy Orton, Ricky "the Dragon" Steamboat, Sin Cara, the Rock, Triple H and Tyson Kidd.

The reveals have come as part of 2K's "Suplex City" marketing blitz, which sees each group of wrestlers assigned to a fictional neighborhood of Suplex City.

WWE 2K17 arrives on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on Oct. 11. The game follows in the footsteps of the critically-acclaimed WWE 2K16, which famously featured the largest wrestler roster of any game in the WWE 2K wrestling game series.

Players who preorder the game from participating retailers will receive two different playable versions of Goldberg, one representing his time with WWE and the other from his WCW days. Those who preorder will also receive two iconic wrestling venues in the form of WCW Monday Nitro and WCW Halloween Havoc.
