Summary
SomeWWE 2Kfans have pointed out that the annual event Crown Jewel is never featured in any of theWWE 2Kgames. WhileWWE 2K24has added many assets that haven’t been included in the previous installments, it seems that the latest entry may still have a few missing entries. The case of current Superstars not being part of the roster might be a different story, since animations, statistics, and other factors play in. However, regular arenas and venues being absent feels like a big omission.
As an example, this year’s game marked the first time that acurrent WrestleMania arenahas been added via DLC. The 40 Years of WrestleMania edition gave players the chance to experience the most recent iteration of the big spectacle just months after it concluded. Not to mention, the arena itself came in two versions. That’s still an amazing feat, especially in today’s age of patches, updates, and DLC. Naturally, fans have come to wonder why one regular event from WWE’s list of PLEs has never been part of any game.
Reddit user Godofwarfan101 has pointed out that WWE 2K games have never added the Crown Jewel arenas.WWE’s Crown Jewel PLEhas been around since 2018, and except for 2020, has remained an annual event. Some fans have shared their speculations as to why this was the case. While a few had joked around that it was because of the requirements in terms of women’s attires, a common serious take was because it had to do with Saudi Arabia being the location. For one, the Crown Jewel events have exclusively taken place there. It’s highly possible that a third party could own the rights to the name, and that may be one factor.
How Can Players Use Crown Jewel in WWE 2K24?
With the long list ofunlockable arenas inWWE 2K24, this huge omission does seem like a massive oversight. However, with various content creators having the ability to upload and share their own Create-An-Arenas, the Community Creations Suite already has a few custom Crown Jewel arenas up for download. While it isn’t authentic, the level of detail that creators go to is amazing.
And while the next entry may still be far away,WWE 2K25could consider adding new content, including the missing Crown Jewel event. Other assets such as the Speed Championship, and quite possibly the new relationships being built with companies such as TNA would be something that 2K could consider when planning for next year’s game.
