WWE 2K25 Unveiled by Xbox

WWE 2K25: Early Glimpses and Roster Speculation

Xbox recently offered a sneak peek at WWE 2K25, releasing screenshots showcasing updated character models for CM Punk, Damien Priest, Liv Morgan, and Cody Rhodes, strongly suggesting their inclusion in the playable roster. With WWE 2K24's March 2024 release, speculation points towards a similar launch window for its successor in 2025, although no official date has been confirmed.

The identity of the WWE 2K25 cover star remains a mystery, fueling considerable fan debate. While past covers have featured wrestling legends like Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock, alongside current stars such as Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley, and Bianca Belair, a recent Steam page leak hints at a potential cover athlete. However, official confirmation awaits the January 28, 2025 reveal promised by the WWE Games Twitter account.

The Xbox tweet, celebrating WWE RAW's Netflix debut, featured the aforementioned screenshots. The improved likeness of Cody Rhodes and Liv Morgan particularly impressed fans, sparking discussion about potential Xbox Game Pass availability.

Speculation includes the Bloodline members Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga, and the newly-gimicked Wyatt Six.

Although the initial announcement came from Xbox, WWE 2K25 is expected to launch on PlayStation and PC platforms as well. Whether it will be current-gen only remains unconfirmed. A wishlist page linked by the WWE Games Twitter account, featuring Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam logos, reinforces the January 28, 2025 date for further announcements.
