IGN will be hosting a special Pre-Show which will feature IGN's Richard George, THQ's Cory Ledesma and Bryan Williams to recap all of the news and announcements that have been made so far and show some gameplay of the SummerSlam match-ups.

As for the Roster Reveal itself, it will be hosted by Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler, with CM Punk and Lillian Garcia also present to comment on the reveals.

Prior to tomorrows reveal, Cory spoke to WWE.com in an interview which you can find here, where he noted that the Attitude Era Story Mode is now 40% longer than last year's story mode, with other new additions seeing Special Referee matches return, new championship titles, game modes, options and more than 100 pieces of unlockable content. Also mentioned were moves on top of the announce table, photos and more than 20 exclusive Attitude Era video packages to be seen as you play through story mode.

Following the Interview, WWE.com also posted some photos of the Yukes Studio in Japan which shows the team working on WWE '13, with one shot showing the match-up screen for Night of Champions and another giving us our first glimpse of this year's Create-a-Superstar mode. One thing to note here is that the created superstar appears to be standing inside a ring as opposed to last year when it stood in a spotlight against a plain background.

Although we'll find out the roster tomorrow, one name we wont see is Lillian Garcia, who wouldn't usually be on the roster anyway but was speculated to be in the game as one of the ring announcers following her return to WWE earlier this year. Lillian however took to Twitter to confirm that she wont be in the game as she returned too late, with the work already done.

Other news from Twitter seen Cory confirm we'll be able to turn off the in-game replays, announce that the next Q&A wont be posted until after SummerSlam and confirm we'll be able to play the special guest referee mode online. He also went on to defend the themes that we heard in the entrance videos, noting that both Mankind and The Undertaker's themes will make sense when we play the game. He also mentioned 'Attitude Era' Undertaker's neck tattoo that was shown in the video was down to an old texture layer being left on by accident, with this being fixed in the final version of the game.

Jim Ross also mentioned that he was in LA prior to SummerSlam to sit down with CM Punk and Stone Cold to discuss WWE '13's Attitude mode, however it's unclear if this footage will air prior to the the roster reveal or if it'll be posted later on the WWE Games channel.

Any idea on how long this will run for? I'm guessing maybe an hour.

I'd guess an hour, I cant really see it running much longer.
