After the last DLC of WWE 2k16 was released, fans are now asking about the latest updates in WWE 2k17. Today's reports say several WWE Divas undergo face scans for their avatars in the next game. Now, here the latest round up of update so that you'll who are the new characters in WWE 2k17 and its release date.

The next installment in the popular wrestling simulation game is expected to offer improved roster of characters, stunning graphics and realistic gameplay. 

Hall of Famer and WWE Diva Alundra Blayze confirmed on Twitter that her face was scanned as part of the developments in WWE 2k17. The tweet was posted during the WrestleMania 32 weekend, so it is safe to assume that more wrestlers will undergo face scans in the next couple of weeks.

Furthermore, pictures of Brie Bella and Bray Wyatt have been posted in Pixelgun Studio's Facebook page. Pixelgun Studio offers 3D scanning for various video games and movies.

In addition, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson could be included in the WWE 2k17 roster. The duo defeated former tag team champs The Usos, giving them a strong chance to be included in the next WWE game series. However, the question is if they're going to be included in the main game or in the DLC releases.

The Bitbag reported that Samoa Joe and Los Matadores have a good chance to be featured in the WWE 2k17. These characters are popular to their fans and they are included in the Future Stars DLC Pack. Given how late they've debuted in the program, they could come as DLC characters.

Fans also want to see Bill Goldberg in the next WWE game. The wrestler has not appeared in the wrestling program for a very long time since he left back in 2004. When a fan asked him over Twitter if he's making a comeback, the wrestler replied "I think I've heard rumor that..." The answer is not a clear yes or no, but it sounds like a tease of some sort.

As of now, game developer 2K Sports have not yet revealed any details about the gameplay and release date of WWE 2k17. Industry experts say it will probably released in November, just like 2K15 and 2K16. Gamers can expect to hear more update during WWE's SummerSlam event.

For now, gamers can play the current WWE 2K16. IGN says the game offers realistic wrestling gameplay and huge roster that will definitely love by old and young WWE fans.
