WWE 2K25 Release Date, New ‘Island’ Mode, and Pre-Order Bonuses Revealed!

Just the other day, during an episode of WWE Monday Night RAW, I caught wind that WWE 2K25 has officially set its launch date. Mark your calendars for March 14, 2025, as this highly anticipated game will be available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam. What’s more, there’ll be an Early Access period starting from March 7, 2025, giving you a head start of 7 days!

But there’s even more to uncover, as the gameplay trailer introduces additional playable wrestlers, suggests a novel game mode, and offers other tantalizing details.

New trailer shows off more WWE Superstars

As a researcher delving into the world of video games, I’m thrilled to share that the initial gameplay trailer for WWE 2K25 unveiled an impressive lineup of playable wrestlers. Some of these wrestling legends have graced the screens in previous WWE 2K titles, while others make their debut in this series. The WWE Superstars featured in this exciting sneak peek include a variety of familiar and fresh faces.

  • Roman Reigns (who will be the cover star of WWE 2K25)
  • Solo Sikoa
  • Jey Uso
  • Jimmy Uso
  • Tama Tanga
  • Tanga Loa
  • Umaga
  • Batista
  • The Undertaker
  • Seth Rollins
  • Cody Rhodes
  • CM Punk
  • All members of The Wyatt Sicks faction (Uncle Howdy, Erick Rowan, Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy, and Nikki Cross).

Additionally, Paul Heyman will return as a manager for the game.

Hints at a game mode and match type

Following the unveiling of the latest playable wrestlers, the trailer subsequently previews a forthcoming game mode for WWE 2K25 titled ‘The Island’. At present, details about this game mode are scarce, but it’s clear that its narrative will significantly feature Roman Reigns. Moreover, the trailer suggests that this exclusive game mode will be accessible only on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions of WWE 2K25.

The trailer additionally includes subtle indications of fresh gameplay elements and techniques. For instance, the trailer depicts Seth Rollins leaping from a ringside barrier to execute a diving attack, an action not possible in past games. This suggests that players may have access to expanded move-sets for this new version.

The trailer’s opening scene briefly displayed a solitary ring devoid of ropes, surrounded by various wrestlers. This suggests that WWE 2K25 might feature the Underground Match mode, an uncommon game type modeled after an underground fight club brawl instead of a typical WWE wrestling contest.

Special Editions and pre-order bonuses

To wrap things up, the latest trailer has disclosed details about the various editions and pre-order incentives for WWE 2K25. Initially, there will be three versions: a standard edition, a Deadman Edition, and a ‘The Bloodline’ Edition. As of now, specifics regarding the unique content offered by the Deadman or ‘The Bloodline’ Edition are not available, except that it includes the Wyatt Sicks Pack.

Based on their cover art, it seems that the Deadman Edition and The Bloodline Edition are expected to offer exclusive content related to The Undertaker and Roman Reigns’ Bloodline faction respectively. Pre-ordering either edition is likely to grant players early access to WWE 2K25 for a 7-day period before its official release.

To sum it up, the trailer hints that those who pre-order WWE 2K25 will get some substantial rewards. Among these perks are the Wyatt Sicks pack granting users access to every member of the Wyatt Sicks gang, and a complimentary digital version of the standard edition of WWE 2K24 on the same platform they pre-order WWE 2K25 for.

Step into the squared circle to face off with living legends and larger-than-life icons.

This trailer showcased numerous playable wrestlers and a fresh game mode, plus an impressive pre-order bonus: the chance to own WWE 2K24, a fantastic game (as Jennifer’s review of WWE 2K24 demonstrates). However, this is merely a sneak peek. More details about WWE 2K25 will be unveiled today, on January 28, 2025.

As a researcher with an ardent interest in gaming, I am eagerly anticipating the revelations that 2K has prepared for their upcoming Xbox or PC title, and I can hardly contain my excitement about who else from the WWE roster might be joining WWE 2K25 when it launches on March 14, 2025.
