2K Sports has told VGC that there are currently no solid plans to make WWE 2K23’s unlockable John Cena action figure character available outside the US.
As initiallyspotted by dataminersshortly after the game’s release, the game’s MyFaction mode has a hidden alternate version of John Cena, in which the popular wrestler is replaced by a Mattel action figure version.
It was later revealed that players can unlock the bizarre character by purchasing a Mattel WWE action figure from Walmart stores in the US, then taking a photo of the receipt.
By uploading the photo of their receipt to a specialRuthless Redemptionwebsite, players will then receive a bespoke Locker Code which can be entered in the game’s MyFaction mode to unlock the character.
However, because the campaign requires players to buy a physical product from a US Walmart store, this means there’s currently no way for players outside of the US to get a redemption code, even though the locked character is sitting there in the game files.
Following an enquiry as to whether the promotion will extend beyond the US, a2Kspokesperson told VGC: “Currently, this promotion is only available in the US. We’re thrilled to see such excitement and demand from fans and are looking into ways to make these MyFACTION cards available to our global audience.”
