The heart of the matter

WWE released a statement with the first images of WWE 2K20, while also giving more details about the game:

The first look at WWE 2K20 has been released in advance of next week’s cover reveal and first gameplay footage next. The image, unveiled Wednesday morning, is an image of SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley making her entrance, and provides a clear look at the new game’s graphics and detail. The cover will be revealed next Monday, Aug. 5, alongside the first footage from the upcoming release.

The first image of WWE 2K20 released by WWE Games on their Twitter account is that of SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley. The screenshot is of her before entering the ring, with her trademark inflatable Bayley Buddies on the left and right of her.

WWE Games released a photo Brock Lesnar, who looks as menacing as ever, and fans quickly noticed a difference between the previous iteration of the game, WWE 2K19, and this year's one, WWE 2K20.

Here’s a side-by-side of Brock Lesnar in #WWE2K19 & in #WWE2K20. Brock looks a lot more slim & toned in #2K20 but that’s just my opinion. What do you guys think? (Also keep in mind that the 2K20 image is a “bullshot” so that’s why it looks far better than 2K19, lighting wise) pic.twitter.com/2DnPrf3Wcf
