테이크투 CEO 스트라우스 젤닉이 유저 모드가 아닌 공식 플레이어블 캐릭터로 WWE 2K26에 추가됐다.
2K는 지난 3일, WWE 2K26에 링사이드 패스 시즌 3를 업데이트했다. 브라이언 필먼, 맷 카도나 등 신규 캐릭터와 기술이 추가됐으며, 크리에이션 모드에서 활용 가능한 새로운 기술과 도발 모션도 선보였다.
특히 이번 업데이트에서 화제가 된 부분은 스트라우스 젤닉이 플레이어블 캐릭터로 추가됐다는 점이다. 패치 노트에 관련 내용이 명시되지는 않았으나, 직접 게임을 플레이한 유저들이 이를 발견하며 수면 위로 떠올랐다.
공개된 영상 및 이미지에서는 스트라우스 젤닉의 등장 장면과 일부 정보를 확인할 수 있다. 능력치 오버롤은 평균보다 약간 낮은 77로 설정됐다. 또한 캐릭터 선택 시 정장 차림의 스트라우스 젤닉이 등장하며, "CEO입니다! 스트라우스 젤닉이 회의실에서 링으로 넘어왔습니다!"라는 전용 해설도 보유했다.



소식을 접한 누리꾼 사이에서는 “너 잘 걸렸다”, “GTA 6를 제대로 출시하지 않으면 이 녀석을 때려야겠다”, “기술 이름이 ‘출시일 연기’인 건 아니겠지?”, “뜬끔없이 왜 나오는 거야?” 등 다양한 반응이 이어지고 있다.
