WWE 2K25 is on the horizon, and the hype surrounding the new WWE 2K title is through the roof.
2025 is expected to be a big year for wrestling, mainly because of the partnership between WWE and Netflix, which will help increase its popularity drastically.
So, we expect 2K to give it their all and make WWE 2K25 an incredibly immersive game that provides a great gameplay experience.
With a huge roster, many match types, new arenas, and improved gameplay, WWE 2K25 can engrave its name in the list of best wrestling games ever.
WWE 2K25 Release Date
WWE 2K25 will be released on the WWE Q4 Fiscal 2025, which takes place between January 1 and March 31.
To be more precise, we predict the game will launch between March 8 and 17. The last three WWE 2K titles were released at the beginning or middle of March, and we expect WWE 2K25 to follow the same formula.
WWE 2K25 Platforms
WWE 2K25 should be released for current and last-gen consoles and PCs.
That has been the case in the previous three WWE 2K titles, and while some games, such as College Football 25, are moving away from old-gen consoles, we don't expect WWE 2K to do the same.
However, there is always the chance that 2K decides now is the right time to move on from old-gen platforms, following the example of their biggest rivals, EA Sports.
WWE 2K25 Editions
WWE 2K25 is expected to have three editions: Standard, Deluxe, and Special. These three editions will have different prices, rewards, and unique covers.
Last year's special edition commemorated the forty years of WrestleMania and was connected with the special showcase mode.
We expect the WWE 2K25 special edition to be connected to its unique showcase mode, likely based on the story of a huge superstar, such as CM Punk or Roman Reigns.
Regarding the price, we expect the Standard edition to cost $59.99 for old-gen and $69.99 for new-gen consoles. The Deluxe edition will be slightly more expensive, costing $99.99, and is expected only to be available for new-gen consoles.
The special WWE 2K25 edition will cost around $119.99 and will be available only for new-gen consoles. It's the most expensive edition, but it offers many rewards.
WWE 2K25 Cover Star
The tribal chief, Roman Reigns, has been revealed (accidentally by Steam) as the standard edition superstar. This pick makes sense, as Roman has carried WWE since the Bloodline's creation and is the company's top star today. Roman, being the superstar chosen to tease the reveal of the game, also lines up with this leak.
It has been several years since Roman shared the cover of WWE 2K20 with The Man, Becky Lynch. So, giving Roman a chance to shine on his own is long overdue.
The deluxe/collectors edition of the game has been revealed to feature none other than the deadman himself, The Undertaker.
The top-tier edition of this year's game, Deadman Edition, was announced on 2K's official X account.
We hope this is a revival of the popular 'Beat the Streak' game mode from WWE 2K14, where you had to beat as many superstars as possible to achieve a high score.
WWE 2K25 Intergender Matches
In a post on X, 2K slyly teased the return of intergender matches. Soon, CM Punk can have his wish of facing Rhea Ripley in the ring once the new game launches.
Fans of the latest WWE signing, Lucha libre sensation Penta, can recreate famous matches from his past. Penta has previously faced women superstars such as Iyo Sky in spectacular bouts.
WWE 2K25 Chain Wrestling
In another cryptic post, 2K appeared to tease the return of chain wrestling to WWE 2K25.
Chain wrestling was a feature in past games where you could string together complex sequences, further enhancing the realism of each match.
Fans praised chain wrestling in past games and a return this year will no doubt go down well for those who have missed the immersive feature.
As more match types and features get revealed, we will be sure to update this article.
