WWE 2K25, the latest entry in the long-running video game series, arrives on March 14, 2025, with a number of new modes and features.
The official announce trailer for the video game, focusing on cover star Roman Reigns, can be seen below this news story.
More details of the features of the game, set for release on Playstation 4 & 5, Xbox Series S & X and PC (via Steam) have now emerged, courtesy of 2K Games.
Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X gamers can take the action out of the ring in the new The Island mode, described 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 XS.”
The Bloodline Dynasty is a new 2K Showcase mode and will be hosted by Paul Heyman:
“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.”
Intergender matches will also make their debut in WWE 2K25, alongside a number of returning match types:
“Intergender wrestling makes its long-awaited debut in the WWE 2K franchise! WWE or player-created Superstars from the men’s and women’s divisions can now compete against each other to set up limitless matchups across all game modes. Additional features include the return of Chain Wrestling, Bloodline Rules Match, Underground Match, and new barricade diving!”
The MyGM mode has been enhanced for WWE 2K25, featuring multiplayer management action for up to four players:
” Intrepid GMs can take their show on the road and challenge general managers worldwide in the enhanced MyGM for WWE 2K25, now with online multiplayer for up to four players. Players draft WWE Superstars and Legends to their weekly show’s roster and lead their brand through multiple-week seasons with a bigger selection of General Managers, cross-brand Premium Live Events, and more.”
If being a GM isn’t your thing, players might enjoy the return of the MyFACTION mode:
“The collectible, card-battle mode is back with updated features, new content, and more ways to play. Faction Wars now features new node types, and 50 new stages. World Tour replaces Proving Grounds, enabling players to travel to different locations in a non-linear approach, while additional match-type support for live events and online matches, and new community events offer enhanced replayability. New themed card packs and goals will continue to roll out regularly throughout the year with seasonal content refreshes.”
There’s also upgrades coming for the sandbox mode with the return of promos:
“WWE 2K’s sandbox mode receives new upgrades to give players greater control over their Universe experience, including the long-awaited return of Promos! The new system includes multiple promo types and outcomes with new cutscenes and branching choices.
Creation Suite: The hallmark of the WWE 2K franchise, the best-in-class, most detailed and robust creation suite remains one of the driving forces behind players’ self-expression as they design their own custom Superstars, GMs, referees, arenas, entrances, move sets, championships, crowd signs, and more.”
The MyRISE mode will deliver a “singular, multi-gender storyline” that sees WWE stars infiltrate NXT:
“Players guide their MySUPERSTAR from the women’s or men’s division in a singular, multi-gender MyRISE storyline where Bayley, Kevin Owens, and other Superstars infiltrate NXT in an attempt to take control of the entire WWE. Featuring new personality choices that lead to specific storylines, as well as brawl environments, unlockable arenas, characters, useable objects, and more, plus new ally storylines involving Jey Uso, Bianca Belair, Seth Rollins, and other WWE Superstars.”
Creative players will also be able to explore a “best in-class” creation suite covering many aspects of WWE from stars to crowd signs:
