It appears the WWE 2K22 cover has been leaked ahead of the Royal Rumble event happening later this month. As expected, Rey Mysterio is the cover star for the game.
We know 2K Games is showing more about the WWE 2K22 at the 2022 Royal Rumble, but it looks like Nils Ahrensmeier from TechnikNews has leaked the cover a few weeks early. There is both a Deluxe Edition cover and a standard cover. Both versions will have different pictures of Rey Mysterio.

This seems like the legit cover for the game considering Rey Mysterio has a 2K Showcase dedicated to him. Not to mention all of the previous promotional material that has been released to date has heavily featured the popular WWE Superstar. Rey Mysterio is also one of the more recognized wrestlers on the WWE roster as he’s a former World Champion and the 2006 Royal Rumble winner.
WWE 2K22 will be released in March 2022. A release date should be announced very soon.
