Summary
Take-Two has officially confirmed thatWWE 2K25is in development and will be releasing within Q4 Fiscal 2025, which means it should be out by the end of March 2025. While some would think that a newWWE 2Kgame would be a given considering the fact that it’s an annual franchise, there was a time when fans had to go without a new entry in the pro wrestling game series.
As some may recall,WWE 2K20had a disastrous launchthat saw the game earn overwhelmingly negative reviews from fans and critics alike.WWE 2K20was such a disaster that 2K canceled plans forWWE 2K21, giving the development team extra time to work onWWE 2K22.WWE 2K22came out swinging and delivered a high-quality gaming experience that has been improved upon inWWE 2K23andWWE 2K24. The upcomingWWE 2K25should be another improvement, though it remains to be seen what it’s bringing to the table.
If the most recentWWE 2Kgames are anything to go by, fans can expect theWWE 2K25reveal to take place at or around the Royal Rumble in 2025. All we know about it for sure is that it’s in development. Notably, Take-Two did not list any platforms forWWE 2K25. ThelatestWWE 2Kgames were cross-gen, but the fact that no platforms are mentioned could be an indication thatWWE 2K25is considering a change of pace. MaybeWWE 2K25will leave the older consoles behind and deliver something that takes proper advantage of the newer systems, but that’s still up in the air at this point.
WWE 2K25 Confirmed by Take-Two
Another possibility is thatWWE 2K25could be coming to the Nintendo Switch. The previous twoWWE 2Kgames skipped the Switch, but there is along history of WWE games on Nintendo platforms, even when they have been underpowered compared to other consoles in that same generation. Visual Concepts and 2K make it a point to release games likeNBA 2K25on the Switch, so it seems like a missed opportunity not to do the same forWWE 2K. Whatever the case may be, fans should find out 2K25’s targeted platforms when the reveal happens, whether that’s at the Royal Rumble next year or some other time.
The information onWWE 2K25came from Take-Two’s latest financial report, which also provided insight on some of the company’s other upcoming games.NBA 2K25was mentioned, as wasCivilization 7,Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game,CSR Racing 3, Ken Levine’sJudas, and, of course,Grand Theft Auto 6. According to the report, theGrand Theft Auto 6release date is still set for fall 2025, so next year should be a massive one for Take-Two.
