WWE 2K25: First Glimpses and Roster Speculation

Xbox recently unveiled screenshots of the upcoming WWE 2K25, sparking excitement and speculation among wrestling game fans. Following the March 2024 release of WWE 2K24, many anticipate a similar launch window for its successor in 2025, although no official release date has been confirmed. The lack of concrete details hasn't stopped fans from theorizing about potential changes and, most notably, the cover athlete.

Past WWE game covers have featured a mix of legendary and contemporary superstars, from Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock to current favorites like Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley, and Bianca Belair. While a Steam page leak suggests a potential cover star, official confirmation remains elusive. The only verifiable information comes directly from Xbox's Twitter announcement.

Xbox's tweet, celebrating WWE RAW's Netflix debut, showcased screenshots featuring updated models and attires for Liv Morgan, Cody Rhodes, Damien Priest, and CM Punk. The post ignited a flurry of fan comments, including inquiries about Xbox Game Pass availability and praise for the improved character likenesses, particularly Cody Rhodes and Liv Morgan.

Confirmed Playable Characters:

• CM Punk
• Damien Priest
• Liv Morgan
• Cody Rhodes

Although these four superstars are confirmed, the full WWE 2K25 roster remains a mystery. Given recent roster changes within WWE, fans are eagerly anticipating the inclusion of their favorites, with many hoping to see Bloodline members Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga, and the newly revamped Wyatt Six, in the game.

While Xbox's tweet was the source of the initial reveal, WWE 2K25 is expected to launch on PlayStation and PC as well. Current-gen exclusivity is yet to be determined. A link in the comments section of the WWE Games Twitter account directs to a wishlist page featuring Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam logos, promising further details on January 28, 2025.
