The special cover features Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Paul Heyman, Sami Zayn, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa.

WWE 2K25 roster

WWE 2K25 will boast the biggest-ever roster of wrestlers, with more than 300 Superstars, Legends and WWE Hall of Famers.

John Cena, The Rock, Rhea Ripley, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, CM Punk, Jade Cargill, Trish Stratus, and many more will be playable.

WWE 2K25 editions

WWE 2K25 is coming in three editions: Standard, Deadman Edition, and The Bloodline Edition.

Alongside the additional perks and content included with the Deadman and Bloodline editions, fans who purchase these will be able to start playing up to one week earlier, on March 7, 2025.

Intergender matches are back

WWE 2K25 is finally bringing back intergender wrestling, more than 16 years after WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 featured the option.

Wrestlers from both the women’s and men’s divisions of WWE will be able to compete against each other in 2K25 across all modes.

Underground matches and Bloodline Rules

Underground is a new mode we’ve only seen on NXT, with no ring ropes and more MMA-style moves.

Bloodline Rules matches will focus on run-ins, so players will be able to summon up to three allies using the Payback ability.

The Island mode

A brand-new mode called The Island brings an entire world with various WWE-themed areas that players can explore.

Similar to The City in NBA 2K25, The Island offers quests and challenges to complete, live events to enter and rewards to earn.

There will be a multiplayer mode too, allowing you to find other and challenge them to a match.

The Island is coming only to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and won’t be available on PC and older consoles.

The Bloodline’s Dynasty showcase

Hosted by “The Wiseman” Paul Heyman, WWE 2K25’s story mode will let players relive historic matches of one of the most iconic wrestling dynasties.

The showcase mode will feature Roman Reigns, The Rock, Yokozuna, and the most recent members of the stable, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa.

In addition to historic showdowns, The Bloodline showcase will offer dream matches between its members and WWE Superstars and Legends for a “what if” fantasy experience.

WWE 2K25 is coming for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
