2K has today lifted the lid on WWE 2K25, revealing a PS5, PS4 release date of 14th March 2025 for the standard version and Roman Reigns as the cover star. A Deadman Edition headlined by The Undertaker and Bloodline Edition featuring both Reigns' and Solo Sikoa's faction members will release one week earlier. You can catch the full reveal trailer above.

This year's instalment brings the typical upgrades and enhancements, like a roster of over 300 wrestlers, new match types (chain wrestling, bloodline rules, and underground), and advancements in the MyGM, MyFACTION, and MyRISE modes. The standout features in WWE 2K25, though, are the new 2K Showcase mode focused on The Bloodline, and an entirely new The Island offering.

Only available in the current-gen version (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC), The Island is a new "interactive world made up of a series of areas built around different WWE themes". In it, you'll explore and challenge other players to compete for a WWE contract by impressing Roman Reigns. You'll complete quests, compete in live events, and customise your personal superstar to "rule beyond the ring", as the press release puts it.

Roman Reigns said: "I am personally and professionally excited that the Original and Only Tribal Chief and the extended Anoa’i family are the focus of WWE 2K25. We’ve been building toward this moment for generations and I challenge players everywhere to show me and my Wiseman, Paul Heyman, what they’ve got, and prove they’re worthy of the attention of their Tribal Chief."

The standard PS5, PS4 version, releasing 14th March 2025, costs $69.99. The Deadman Edition and The Bloodline Edition both launch a week earlier on 7th March, and cost $99.99 and $129.99 respectively. Will you be playing this year's entry? Sign up for a spot in The Bloodline in the comments below.
