The pressure of an annual release schedule can be a curse for big sports series like WWE 2K - look no further than the maligned 2K20 to see why, a game so rough it actually forced publisher 2K to take two years off and regroup, which led to the redesign that got it to the much better place it’s in today. In many ways, WWE 2K24 seems like the final form of this new vision for the series. Some nagging bugaboos persist, like this year’s Showcase mode that suffers from the inability to recreate genuine moments in wrestling history in video game form, while also trying to rewrite that history. And yet, It’s marginally better in almost every other way than the last two, touting small but smart additions to well-tested systems and modes as opposed to taking bigger risks.

Earlier this week, Blizzard announced restrictions for new accounts and their characters on Season of Discovery realms. In the official forums, Senior Game Producer Tom Ellis has commented on the change, clarifying that new players will still be eligible to receive items and gold from helping friends — just not trade them away through mail, trading, or the Auction House.

The Helldivers 2 community is once again wrestling with the satirical tone of the game and its development team, struggling to glean legitimate information as Arrowhead cautions all democracy enjoyers to "avoid" a "rogue item" in the ship management store called "Catalog Expansion."

For the average wrestling fan, turning to WWE’s games is a safer way to live out your sports entertainment fantasies than, say, jumping off the roof of your garage through a flaming table. Since the late 80s there’ve been well over 50 such games that have averted countless such ill-advised* attempts to be a pro wrestler at home, all wearing the WWF/E banner. And while it’s as difficult to parse out the incremental improvements from one year to the next as it is to kick out of a Tombstone, here’s an attempt at narrowing down the 10 best WWE games of all time.**

Before the first bell of Wrestlemania XL has even rung, WWE has a new champion.

Meet Will Ospreay, a 30-year-old Assassin’s Creed fan who many consider to currently be the best professional wrestler in the world. Will’s not just a fan of Assassin’s Creed though, his entire career has been built on the foundation of the Ubisoft series, and since his early wrestling days he has gone by the Ezio-inspired moniker ‘The Aerial Assassin’.

A dedicated hardcore Pokemon player has managed to complete what's arguably one of the most difficult Nuzlocke challenges out there after 11,130 attempts, all while wrestling with a run-destroying spreadsheet and a deep desire for a 'perfect run.'

I’m going to level with you: Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire might be the stupidest movie I’ve ever seen. Not the worst movie (that would be Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2), but very possibly the most absurd. I’m ashamed to tell my mother I saw it, for fear of a lecture about how she did not raise a dummy, and did not break her back putting me through school so I could sit through the giant-monkey-and-lizard movie, for money. But unfortunately for her (love you, Mom) she did put me through school to watch the giant-monkey-and-lizard movie, for money. So I did watch the stupid thing. And you know what? I’d do it again.

Is this headline bait-y as hell? You bet your butt it is. Am I giving too much credence, allowing too much room, for Cody detractors? Abso-f***in-lutely. There are going to be fans who are Team Cody and there will be those who are Team Roman, or Team Rock, or just plain Team Bloodline, but the way the wrestling wind usually blows, Cody’s taking this. He's winning. Whether he loses Night 1 and wins Night 2 or just flippin’ wins both nights, this story’s getting finASHED.

New release WWE 2K24 was the best-selling physical game in the UK last week, knocking Final Fantasy VII Rebirth into second. The PS5 JRPG registered an 89 per cent drop in sales compared to its launch week while 2K's newest wrestling entry has debuted better than last year's instalment, with purchases up 26 per cent.

Former WWE chairman and CEO Vince McMahon remains embroiled in a sexual misconduct lawsuit alleged by former employee Janel Grant. As a result, 2K has decided to partially censor McMahon's face in WWE 2K24, in archival footage featured in the game's Wrestlemania Showcase mode. While McMahon denies Grant's allegations, which include sexual assault and trafficking her to secure wrestling talent, he resigned from WWE as CEO the day after the federal lawsuit was filed.

is now available on all platforms and has received universal acclaim as the best game the franchise has produced in quite some time. With long-overdue improvements across the board, jumping into the ring to take on modern-day superstars and classic legends has never felt better. After several years of middling mediocrity, wrestling fans now have a definitive game that delivers the most authentic wrestling experience available on next-generation consoles.

WWE 2K24 is jam-packed full of wrestlers, and we’ve got the roster laid out for you alongside a full list of incoming DLCs that are set to add even more down the line.

was released on March 5, 2024 with an impressive number of single-player and multiplayer modes and an impressive roster of wrestlers for players to play as. As with many AAA titles, also has a Season Pass that players can purchase, granting them access to several DLC packs as they release.

As the calendar rapidly approaches WrestleMania 40, the eyes of the world are once again trained on WWE’s big house of muscular lads and lasses. With The Rock’s involvement in this year’s shindig raising the event’s profile to even loftier heights, WWE and 2K have pulled out all the stops to try and ensure the latest entry in their ongoing grappling simulator cuts the mustard. But have they stuck the landing, or will WWE 2K24 go down as a misfire on the road to wrestling’s most prestigious show?

The complete WWE 2K24 season pass has been revealed, detailing every post-launch downloadable content (DLC) update.

Malevelon Creek, Helldivers 2's most infamous Automaton planet, has sadly fallen to the robotic forces.

The Helldivers 2 community was left in tatters after fan-favorite planet Malevelon Creek, dubbed ‘Space Vietnam’ by players, finally fell to the Automatons.

It's soon time to step into the arena with WWE 2K24, launching on both PS5 and PS4 come 8th March. This entry in the officially licensed wrestling series puts an emphasis on WrestleMania's four decades of history, with legendary fighters like Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Randy Savage, The Undertaker, and more joining the roster alongside more contemporary competitors. This new trailer shines the spotlight on the old days, highlighting the game's playable classic matches.

Last night's episode of pro wrestling show AEW Dynamite featured a match called the "Like a Dragon Gaiden street fight presented by Sega," and folks, it was even wilder than that name suggests.

Majima cosplay, a bicycle, and a 500-pound man being thrown onto a car are only some of the highlights.

A new has been released, giving viewers a look at the upcoming biographical sports drama based on the Von Erich family of professional wrestlers. The film is scheduled to arrive in theaters on December 22.

CM Punk is no longer a member of the All Elite Wrestling roster following a backstage incident with Jack Perry at AEW‘s All In pay-per-view event in London.

Fans have long argued that wrestling games peaked in the N64 era with titles like WWF No Mercy, but no modern developer has managed to properly capitalize on that nostalgia. An upcoming indie game called Ultra Pro Wrestling might be set to change that.

An indie wrestling game designed to be the spiritual successor of WWF No Mercy has shown off its latest gameplay footage.

Ultra Pro Wrestling’s showcase has dropped and with it comes the first in-game footage and a metric-ton of roster announcements. We got to see intros that pay homage to Virtual Pro Wrestling 2’s full walkouts from the backstage area to the ring with “Blue Collar” Bill Dollar facing “Sir” Oliver Buckingham. The light and hard strikes and grapples were shown off and the strikes definitely have the same feel as No Mercy in terms of reactions and selling. The grapples seem a tad floaty, but this is pre-alpha footage and that can always be tightened up. The go-behind animation definitely needs some work and the snap German based on one of Dr. Death’s variants in the Aki engine looks pretty good overall.

Well let me tell you something, Mean Gene: WrestleQuest, the indie JRPG all about pro wrestling, got delayed just four hours before its planned launch, and is now set to launch on August 22.

If you've been furiously refreshing your storefront of choice ready for WrestleQuest's arrival today, you might want to calm your finger; developer Mega Cat Studios has announced a very-last-minute delay, pushing the exuberant wrestling RPG's launch back to 22nd August.

Remember when WWE boss Vince McMahon was in the hospital, and just as his examination was concluding and all seemed well, Stone Cold Steve Austin leapt in out of nowhere and clocked him with a bedpan? This is kind of like that: The pro rasslin' RPG WrestleQuest (Mr. McMahon) has been delayed (Stone Cold) by a last-minute bug (the bedpan).

Ultra Pro Wrestling’s team has a big trailer set for later this month, but before that, they decided to announce one more big legendary free agent DLC member to the roster – and it’s arguably the biggest one yet. “The Enforcer” Arn Anderson will be joining the roster and he’s one of pro wrestling greatest wrestlers and promos of all-time and yet hasn’t been put into video games nearly as much as he should have. Despite being under WWE contract for the better part of 20 years, he wasn’t in even a handful of games – but was at least included alongside his Dangerous Alliance partner Larry Zbyszko in 2K’s games in 2K17 and before as DLC in 2K16.
