Illustrator Jonathan Bartlett Refutes WWE 2K24 ’40 Years Of WrestleMania’ Cover AI Rumors
Jonathan Bartlett takes to social media to clear up a rumor.
On Monday, January 22, 2K revealed a bunch of new information about the latest installment in their WWE game series, WWE 2K24. The game will feature three editions, the Standard Edition, the Deluxe Edition, and the 40 Years Of WrestleMania Edition.
The cover for the 40 Years Of WrestleMania Edition of the game features a ton of big WWE names from the past and present such as The Rock, The Undertaker, ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin, Bret Hart, Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, Triple H, and John Cena.
A select group of fans online were critical of this cover, as those fans accused 2K of using artificial intelligence to create it. Those claims were quickly shut down by Jonathan Bartlett, who illustrated the cover himself.
