WWE will try to further improve their "WWE 2K" game franchise as "WWE 2K17" is now under development. As of the moment, the company is searching for an associate product manager that can promote the product effectively.

The company will have to hire someone soon as "WWE 2K17" is projected to be released in October 2016. The previous "WWE 2K" installments were also released in the same month. The job listing was posted in WWE website and the job description is as follows.

"We're looking for a hungry, highly motivated, passionate, creative-thinking and detail-oriented Associate Product Manager who will be a vital and integral part of the WWE 2K brand marketing team," as stated in the website. "The Associate Product Manager will participate in the development and implementation of strategic product marketing plans for 2K."

Mainly, the job will focus on marketing and communicating with licensing partners and external agencies to produce quality materials. Furthermore, candidates need to be an avid fan of gaming, sports and the WWE.

In other news, the roster is starting to fill-up and new WWE Superstars are likely making their debut on the game franchise. Kenny King, Low Ki and TJ Perkins are some of those upstarts joining the roster, WWE 2K17 News reported. NXT Divas Sasha Banks, Bayley, Becky Lynch and Charlotte will also be included to represent their division.

What increased the hype of previous installments of the game are the appearances of legendary retired superstars, with Sting gracing the "WWE 2K16" cover. This year, it looks like Bill Goldberg will be part of the wrestling game as hinted on his Twitter account.

In 2015, Goldberg was also in talks with the WWE of a potential comeback and nothing has come to fruition yet. It would be interesting to see if his appearance in "WWE 2K17" will pave way for his WWE return.

In other news, confirmed superstars to appear in the game are Dean "The Fringe Lunatic" Ambrose, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, John Cena, Brie Bella, Bray Wyatt, The Miz, Rusev, AJ Styles and Brock Lesnar among others.

Here are some fan ideas for the upcoming game.
