The roster for the upcoming "WWE 2K17" game has been the subject of much discussion since the game was announced earlier this year. As soon as the game was made official on the website associated with it, the presence of Bill Goldberg, a former star on WWE, was confirmed. The attention now is also turning to others who would make up the roster.

In the latest unconfirmed report about the roster for "WWE 2K17" which arrived on a website, there were indications that Dean Ambrose, the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion, will be included. This particular website also speculates that he could be the cover star of the upcoming game.

However, when "WWE 2K17" was made official on its website, the wrestler Bill Goldberg was focused on. GameSpot, taking the top billing given to Goldberg on the website and an intro trailer, stated that this is because Goldberg will have a special part in the upcoming game, being available as a preorder bonus..

Goldberg, who was part of WCW and WWE when he worked as a wrestler, will only be provided to those who preorder the game. Those who preorder will be able to get him in two forms, one which is going to be based on WWE and the other on WCW.

Previously, stars such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ultimate Warrior were offered as part of the game's preorder bonuses and Goldberg appeared to be thrilled with his inclusion in the game. He also stated that after taking on wrestlers like The Rock and Brock Lesnar in real life, he can now take on current champions in the game.

An announcement was also made recently that other wrestlers in the roster for the game would include John Cena, and Sasha Banks who goes by the name "Legit Boss." Given that the roster for "WWE 2K17" is just being announced, it is likely it will get a lot more names added to it before the game releases in October of this year. "WWE 2K17" is due to arrive on consoles such as the Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3.

Meanwhile, the cover for the game will be unveiled on June 27 as announced via Twitter
