Pre-orders of WWE 2K17 are now available for PS4, Xbox One, PS3 and Xbox 360, and WWE has just confirmed that Goldberg is included in the game in a recent Twitter post.

Goldberg has hinted his appearance in this year's WWE game on his own Twitter account, and that has just become a reality.

Pre-orders for 2K Games' latest game for the WWE franchise, WWE 2K17, is now being accepted on the WWE Shop today, boasting realistic graphics, "ultra-authentic" gameplay, and a huge WWE and NXT Superstar lineup.

Fans can now pre-order their very own copy of the popular wrestling game. Described by WWE as "the reigning, defending champion of fighting video games", the game is currently available for pre-order for the Xbox 360, Xbox One, Playstation 3 and Playstation 4. It is not confirmed whether the game will have a PC version soon.

While the pre-orders are already being taken, there is still no final date on when the game will be launched, with the Ship Date marked as TBA on the website. Speculations of an October release has been making its rounds, but this was not confirmed nor denied by both 2K Games and WWE.

Also one noticable change is that the cover art only shows the WWE 2K17 logo, with flashy red LED lights in the background. For the past few years, the WWE games has always featured a well-known Superstar on its cover, even the old Game Boy ones. Big names like The Rock graced the cover of WWE 2K14, John Cena on 2K15, and Stone Cold Steve Austin last year. It is not known whether this will be the official cover art for the game, or if this is just a tentative cover until the next Superstar is chosen. However, fans have already chosen their favorite Superstars for the cover, with Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins, the Undertaker and even Shane McMahon on the list.

With the recent announcement, however, it is highly likely that Goldberg will be featured on this year's cover.

Pre-orders are now open at shop.WWE.com with a discount price of $59.99, and will end at 02:59 AM EST, May 31.
