'WWE 2K17' release date and updates: WWE artist to unveil stars at E3 2016

With the release only a few months away, fans from the WWE Universe are eagerly awaiting "WWE 2K17."

With the game originally slated for an October 2016 release, fans are slowly getting snippets on how the game is and who the featured superstars would be. These, in turn, have helped increase the hype over the upcoming game.

And while there is still a few ways to go as the game has yet to be rated by ESRB, that is the last thing on the mind of the fans as it is reported that there will be new reveals at Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2016 in Los Angeles.

As part of the E3 2016 event, 2K announced that they will have WWE portrait artist Rob Schamberger reveal some of the stars that are yet to be revealed this year.

Schamberger is a popular figure within the fandom of WWE as he is one of the best artists who draw portraits of the superstars.

The artworks have been used to raise money for various charities, including the Make-a-Wish Foundation.

His unique style has also captured the eyes of those who are not big fans of sports entertainment, but have appreciation with great art.

Found below is a video released by WWE's official YouTube channel on Schamberger's artwork of various superstars.

With superstars like Bill Goldberg already revealed earlier this year, expect bigger names in the WWE Universe to be unveiled in the convention.

Below is a clip released by 2K regarding Goldberg:

There should be even more updates on June 14-16 when the 2K team appears at the convention, so stay tuned to get updated information on how the game will develop.

"WWE 2K" is a very successful franchise, starting off back in 2000 with THQ before being continued by 2K Sports in 2013.

This 2017 edition is getting a lot of hype following positive feedback on last year's game.

Gaming reviewers like IGN and TechRadar have given it high praises, with the former scoring the 2016 edition 8.8/10, while the latter has it 4 of 5 stars.
