WWE 2K23 has teased future inclusions in its DLC roster by uploading a cryptic graphic. The developers recently teased that an announcement would be made on March 1, 2023. The hint was that WWE 2K23 could possibly include Bray Wyatt and Bad News Barrett in its future roster via DLC.
With WWE 2K23's release date on March 17, 2023, the previews for the game continue to become more in-depth. New features and updated mechanics continue to be highlighted, along with the finalization of the roster reveal. However, WWE 2K's team has never been shy in giving gamers a peek at the upcoming DLC packs to release in future games—often showing an advanced look at the season pass contents. This year, the team has decided to be more cryptic than usual.
As inspired by WWE superstar Bray Wyatt's outlandish teasers, the WWE 2K23 development team has released a graphic clue that contains several clues pointing at characters teased as DLC. While names and words such as Nathan Frazer, Blair (Davenport), Chase U, Trick Williams, and others can be read, several icons and logos also appear in the photo. A burning vinyl record seems to imply the stable, Hit Row. The Diamond Mine logo can be seen on the upper right to imply either Ivy Nile or Roderick Strong. A diamond icon that is being held by a rabbit seems to be very close to Diamond Dallas Page's logo. There's also a Divas' championship belt present which could imply that a former champion could be part of the DLC.
While no confirmation has come from the development team regarding the speculations, most of the names present are pretty obvious considering that they're explicitly named in the graphic. With WWE 2K23 revealing Tyler Breeze as an extra unannounced playable character, many gamers are still hoping that Bray Wyatt can still make the official non-DLC roster. However, Wyatt's logo was included in this latest reveal, meaning he could be part of this content drop. Still, a lot of fans are hoping that his inclusion in this tease would warrant a different version and that another variation could be included in the main roster.
With WWE 2K23's Showcase mode being John Cena-centric, most of the included names do make sense. Bad News Barrett and Bray Wyatt are some of the superstars the cover star lost to a few years back. Carlito is also one who has defeated the Doctor of Thuganomics before, and his name is faintly shown on the left portion. As it seems, NXT, WWE Legends, and various wrestlers who've been a part of Cena's career could be the general content of this year's season pass. Hopefully, WWE 2K23 confirms the official names soon to verify these guesses.
WWE 2K23 will release on March 17, 2023, for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
