More information is available about the upcoming WWE 2K25 video game.
On WWE Raw this week, Roman Reigns was revealed as the cover star for the standard edition of the game, and special Deadman and Bloodline editions were also announced. On Tuesday, 2K confirmed several new details about the game, including this year’s Showcase mode featuring “The Bloodline’s Dynasty.”
From 2K.com:
“The all-new 2K Showcase, hosted by ‘The Wiseman’ Paul Heyman, celebrates one of the most iconic wrestling family dynasties – The Bloodline and the extended Anoa’i family. Featuring Roman Reigns, The Rock, Yokozuna, Jacob Fatu, and more, players can relive historic showdowns or flip the script and change the outcome of select match-ups. Dream matches between members of The Bloodline and WWE Superstars and Legends offer a ‘what if?’ fantasy element to settle fan debates and start fresh feuds, in addition to some surprises in store.”
New confirmed match types in the game include:
- Underground Match
- Bloodline Rules Match
- Intergender Match
Chain wrestling sequences will also return to the game.
One of the most dangerous venues in WWE history has also been added to the game. Players can now brawl around the NXT parking lot.
MyGM mode will now be available through online multiplayer.
2K says the final roster will include over 300 playable characters.
Players on current generation consoles will have access to The Island, which 2K describes as “An interactive world made up of a series of areas built around different WWE themes, The Island offers players the opportunity to explore and challenge other players, while vying to earn a WWE contract by impressing “The Original Tribal Chief” Roman Reigns. By completing quests, taking on challenges, competing in live events, earning unlockables, and upgrading and customizing MySUPERSTARS through multiple storyline chapters, The Island allows players to step outside the ropes and “Rule Beyond the Ring.” Available only on PS5® and Xbox Series X|S.”
The ability to cut promos in Universe mode also returns in this year’s game.
“I am personally and professionally excited that the Original and Only Tribal Chief and the extended Anoa’i family are the focus of WWE 2K25,” said Roman Reigns. “We’ve been building toward this moment for generations and I challenge players everywhere to show me and my Wiseman, Paul Heyman, what they’ve got, and prove they’re worthy of the attention of their Tribal Chief.”
“WWE 2K25 expands on our winning formula in nearly every aspect of the player experience,” said Greg Thomas, President at Visual Concepts. “Our new approach to 2K Showcase and MyRISE storylines really tap into the creativity of the development team, and we’re excited to see our community enjoy these updated features.”
