The upcoming WWE 2K19 video game will have two new Superstars on its roster for the first time: WWE United Kingdom champion Pete Dunne and fellow Brit Tyler Bate.

The two are among the first playable characters to be officially announced for the game. The announcement of their inclusion of the game was made yesterday during night one of the NXT UK television tapings in Birmingham, England.

WWE 2K19 will be released on October 9 with AJ Styles being the cover Superstar. Usually 2K holds an event during the SummerSlam weekend to announce the roster but this time it looks like the full roster reveal will be a little bit later than usual.
