2K Sports has confirmed the release date for WWE 2K25, and shared details on a number of new modes and features.
The next entry in the long-running WWE series of video games will be released on March 14, with early access starting on March 7 for owners of the Deadman Edition or Bloodline Edition of the game.
The game’s cover star is Roman Reigns, who will be the central focus of the two main new modes added in the2K25 edition.
The first of these is this year’s Showcase mode, which is titled The Bloodline’s Dynasty. Showcase mode looks back at classic matches with a specific theme, and this year the theme is the Bloodline and the extended Anoa’i family, meaning the matches selected will include Roman Reigns, The Rock, Yokozuna, Jacob Fatu and more.
The main new mode this year, however, is titled The Island and gives players “the opportunity to explore and challenge other players, while vying to earn a WWE contract by impressing Roman Reigns”, according to2K Sports.
The Island, which is exclusive to thePS5andXbox Series X/Sversions of the game, has players completing quests, competing in live events and upgrading and customising their character “through multiple storyline chapters”.
Other new features coming to the game this year include:
Players who pre-orderWWE 2K25will get the Wyatt Sicks Pack, which includes five playable superstars – Uncle Howdy, Dexter Lumis, Nikki Cross, Joe Gacy and Erick Rowan – plus Uncle Howdy and Nikki Cross mask cosmetic items for The Island.
The game will have two special editions, the Deadman Edition ($99.99) and the Bloodline Edition ($129.99).
