2K announced the inclusion of the Robocop character into the WWE 2K Supercard online game today, marking the return to pro wrestling for the popular science-fiction character, who once appeared in WCW at Capital Combat '90 in Washington, DC, doing an angle where he rescued Sting from being locked in a cage by The Four Horsemen. That actual PPV's entire promotional campaign was built around "The Return of Robocop", timed for the release of the second Robocop feature film.

Head of MGM Consumer Products Robert Marick said, “RoboCop and WWE are iconic within popular culture and a collaboration between both IPs is sure to delight fans. We’re looking forward to bringing these two properties together in a truly innovative game experience.” Through May 31, 2023, players can take part in a collectibles event by playing specified game modes and collecting cards via the Draft Board to earn special-edition WrestleMania 39 tier or Extinction Superstar cards. Two, week-long Special Quests will run across the activation starting this week. These RoboCop-themed quests will grant more opportunities to earn Superstar, Support or Equipment cards. Players who collect all six RoboCop assets will earn an additional reward, with the top prize being an exclusive Cardback.
