WWE 2K25: Early Reveals and Fan Speculation
Xbox recently teased WWE 2K25 with screenshots showcasing updated character models for CM Punk, Damien Priest, Liv Morgan, and Cody Rhodes, strongly suggesting their inclusion as playable characters. While no official release date has been announced, the March release of WWE 2K24 fuels speculation of a similar launch window in 2025. The lack of concrete details, however, has ignited fervent fan discussions.
A major point of contention is the cover star. Past WWE 2K games have featured iconic wrestlers, from legends like Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock to current stars such as Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley, and Bianca Belair. Although a Steam page leak hints at a potential cover athlete, official confirmation remains elusive. The Xbox tweet, celebrating WWE RAW's Netflix debut, only showcased the aforementioned character models. This tweet also sparked debate regarding potential Xbox Game Pass inclusion. Fans particularly praised the improved likeness of Cody Rhodes and Liv Morgan compared to previous iterations.
Confirmed Playable Characters:
- CM Punk
- Damien Priest
- Liv Morgan
- Cody Rhodes
While these four characters are confirmed, the full WWE 2K25 roster remains a mystery. Significant roster changes within WWE, featuring both departures and new arrivals, have fueled fan anticipation and speculation regarding their favorite wrestlers' inclusion. Many are hoping for the addition of Bloodline members Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga, along with the newly revamped Wyatt Six.
Despite the Xbox tweet, WWE 2K25 is anticipated for release on PlayStation and PC platforms. Whether it will be current-gen only is yet to be determined. A link from the WWE Games Twitter account leads to a wishlist page featuring Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam logos, promising further details on January 28, 2025.
