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, though no official release date has been announced. While details remain scarce, the buzz around potential roster additions and the cover athlete is already intense.
The cover star is a major point of conversation. Past WWE games have featured iconic wrestlers 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 suggests a potential cover star, but official confirmation awaits. More information is promised on January 28, 2025.
Xbox's Twitter post, celebrating WWE RAW's Netflix debut, showcased screenshots featuring updated models and attires for Liv Morgan, Cody Rhodes, Damien Priest, and CM Punk. This fueled speculation about Xbox Game Pass availability, and fans praised the improved likeness of characters like Cody Rhodes and Liv Morgan.

While these four wrestlers 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 names like Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and the newly revamped Wyatt Six mentioned frequently.
Although the initial announcement came from Xbox, WWE 2K25 is expected to launch on PlayStation and PC as well. Current-gen exclusivity is yet to be confirmed.
