2K Games' annual WWE series is gearing up for another wrestle-fest on 17 October for Xbox One and PS4, with a Nintendo Switch coming later in Autumn.

As well as the usual round of gameplay tweaks and additional modes, WWE 2K18 also promises to host "the largest roster in WWE games history", including new stars making their digital debut and no small shortage of returning favourites. Oh, it's true. It's damn true.
