The cover stars for AFL 23 have been revealed, with Christian Petracca and Darcy Vescio set to feature on the cover when the game is released on April 13.

The duo were revealed as the cover athletes at Wednesday's AFL 23 official launch, with less than a month to go before the game will be released to the public.

Star Blue Vescio becomes the first AFLW player to feature on the cover, with the gun Demon by her side.

AFL 23, which was created by Big Ant Studios, will feature over 1200 players across both the men's and women's competitions, a management career mode and commentary from several well known voices of the competition.

The AFL's most recent footy video game was AFL Evolution 2, which was released in 2020. Prior to this partnership with Big Ant Studios, the two previously released the AFL Live game in 2011.

It is expected that further information regarding the game, such as gameplay and additional features, will be revealed as part of the launch on Wednesday night.
