Early production signals announcement during WrestleMania season
Summary
– WWE 2K26 commercial was reportedly filmed in December
– Reveal is expected within weeks as WrestleMania season begins
– No cover star has been announced yet
WWE 2K26 is closer to its official reveal than fans may have expected.
Bryan Alvarez reported on Wrestling Observer Radio that WWE quietly filmed the commercial for WWE 2K26 back in December.
While no official announcement date has been confirmed, the advertisement is expected to begin airing within the coming weeks.
With the Royal Rumble scheduled for January 31 in Saudi Arabia, speculation has grown that the first trailer could debut during the premium live event.
As of now, there is no word on which Superstar will appear on the cover of WWE 2K26.
Recent cover athletes have included Rey Mysterio for WWE 2K22, John Cena for WWE 2K23, Cody Rhodes for WWE 2K24, and Roman Reigns for WWE 2K25.
The WWE 2K franchise has regained momentum following the one-year pause that followed the poorly received WWE 2K20 release.
Since WWE 2K22, the series has consistently launched during the annual WrestleMania build-up period.
2K Games continues to serve as publisher, with Visual Concepts handling development duties.
The early completion of the commercial suggests marketing plans are already in motion.
With WrestleMania season approaching, the window for WWE 2K26’s first official reveal appears imminent.
