WWE 2K25: First Glimpses and Speculation

Xbox recently unveiled screenshots of the upcoming WWE 2K25, sparking excitement and speculation among wrestling game enthusiasts. Following the March 2024 release of WWE 2K24, many anticipate a similar release window for its successor in 2025. While official details remain scarce, the gaming community is buzzing with predictions.

A major point of contention is the cover star. Past WWE games have featured iconic wrestlers, from legends like Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock to current superstars such as Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley, and Bianca Belair. Although a Steam page leak suggests a potential cover athlete, confirmation awaits the official announcement. More information is promised on January 28, 2025.

The Xbox Twitter post, celebrating WWE RAW's Netflix debut, showcased updated character models and attires for Liv Morgan, Cody Rhodes, Damien Priest, and CM Punk. This fueled discussions about potential Xbox Game Pass inclusion. Fans particularly noted improvements in Cody Rhodes' and Liv Morgan's in-game likenesses.

While these four wrestlers are confirmed, the full WWE 2K25 roster remains undisclosed. Given recent roster changes within WWE, fans eagerly await the inclusion of their favorites, with many hoping for the likes of Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and the revamped Wyatt Six.

Although the initial announcement came from Xbox, the game is expected to launch on PlayStation and PC platforms as well. Whether it will be exclusive to current-gen consoles is yet to be determined.
