The game - which features the largest playable roster in franchise history - has had issues with saving dating and online stability but the new patch is expected to fix these.

Patch 1.02, exclusively for the PS4 and Xbox One versions, also aims to fix gameplay issues including "incorrect crowd reaction, audio issues, and inaccurate victory and entrance animations".

The game has been published by 2K Sports and is available on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on 11 October 2016.

It was previously revealed that one of the major innovations in the game is to move play away from an arcade-style fighting game to "simulation based gameplay".

An official statement on 'WWE 2K17' explained: "We've shifted the gameplay experience focus from an arcade-centric, fighting game style to simulation-based gameplay, and WWE 2K17 continues pushing in that direction with both improved and new gameplay mechanic."

The game makers also introduced a more bespoke experience in terms of customisation.

The statement continued: "The WWE 2K17 Creation Suite enables the WWE Universe to customize, build and share their own unique WWE Superstars, Arenas, Entrances, Shows and more."

With the latest release, 2K Games are attempting to emulate the live experience shows like 'Monday Night Raw', and they have also incorporated a new Promo Engine to enable interaction.

2K Games said: "In WWE Universe Mode, we are working to recreate the drama and excitement seen every week on Raw, SmackDown Live and NXT.

"We incorporated the new Promo Engine, so Superstars can express themselves to the WWE Universe and also call out or respond to other WWE Superstars."

Joining Brock Lesnar in the game are familiar faces including Chris Jericho, Aiden English, Booker T, Brian Pillman, Brie Bella, Diego, Erick Rowan, Fernando, Heath Slater, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Jim Neidhart, Konnor, Larry Zbyszko, Nikki Bella, R-Truth, Simon Gotch, The Ultimate Warrior and Viktor.
