WWE 2K24 Confirms Unexpected Showcase Mode Match Count

WWE 2K24 will be launching with over 200 names, but, as usual, the game will also have a season pass that adds a number of additional superstars to the roster. The season pass will include some major recent additions to the WWE roster, including CM Punk, Jade Cargill, Nia Jax, and Kairi Sane, as well as some legends including Diamond Dallas Page, Lex Luger, and the Iron Sheik. Oh, and you’ll also be able to play as Post Malone, because sure, why not?

Visual Concepts and 2K Games have announced WWE 2K24’s Season Pass, featuring 20 new Superstars across five DLC packs over the coming months. It kicks off on May 15th with the ECW Punk Pack, with CM Punk, Bubba Ray Dudley, D-Von Dudley, Sandman, and Terry Funk included with a MyFACTION Manager Card for ECW Paul Heyman.

Some WWE fans are unhappy with Kurt Angle's WWE 2K24 rating, since it's lower than one of WWE's most controversial superstars from the current roster. Kurt Angle will be playable in WWE 2K24 alongside over 200 wrestlers from WWE's past and present, including John Cena, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and Roman Reigns.

WWE fans are getting a new wrestling game to enjoy next month. That will be the WWE 2K24 installment, and while we are waiting for the date to roll around, some players are already getting a chance to try the title out. It looks like some media outlets have gained access to the upcoming installment and are sharing footage online. 

CM Punk hasn’t been confirmed as a playable character in WWE 2K24 yet, but the Chicago-born superstar recently made the case to be added as DLC down the road. Nearly ten years after his last virtual appearance in a WWE video game and just a few months removed from his controversial departure from AEW, CM Punk shocked audiences by walking out to the ring at the very end of November’s Survivor Series live event. Since then, there has been much speculation about Punk’s WWE future, including whether or not he will appear in the upcoming WWE 2K24.

Newly-released gameplay videos are offering a look at how special stipulations like Casket Matches and Special Guest Referee contests will play out in WWE 2K24. The latest installment in the annual WWE 2K series is now only a few weeks away, and the creators of WWE 2K24 have been busy showing off the game’s many playable characters and game modes.

WWE 2K24's recent ratings reveal confirms the overalls of several WWE Superstars, including the likes of LA Knight, Bayley, and more. With the whole WWE 2K24 roster confirmed, information regarding their ratings and rankings has slowly been rolled out as well. While most fans expect the numbers to just move up or down a few notches, it has been confirmed by the previous reveals that the slate has been wiped clean, and that the announced numbers are based on a new set of factors.

2K Sports has revealed the final roster for WWE 2K24, and it's impressive. Over 204 superstars are playable, including 70 Legends who are no longer on the main rosters and 8 managers, but there's a couple notable absences from the playable roster: former WWE chairman and CEO Vince McMahon and 7-time WWE Champion and 3-time WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar.

If you’ve paid attention to the wrestling world in 2024, things have gotten rather chaotic rather quickly. In the case of WWE, a massive scandal occurred concerning their former Chairman, CEO, and owner of World Wrestling Entertainment, Vince McMahon. Just before their premiere event, the Royal Rumble, a massive lawsuit revealed heinous acts McMahon and others within the company did. While we won’t talk about all of them via the explicit nature of things, let’s just say that a form of “human trafficking” and abuse was going on, and this would lead to changes within WWE 2K24, the company’s latest video game which is set to arrive in March.

WWE 2K24 is bringing back Special Guest Referee Matches for the first time in 10 years, and now the developers have posted a brief teaser of the stipulation. During certain wrestling matches, the usual official is replaced by someone who usually doesn’t have this job, such as another WWE 2K24 wrestler. This can add drama to a given storyline, as the replacement referee in question more often than not has a personal bias (at least in kayfabe) toward or against one of the competitors, which could impact their enforcement of the rules during the match.

WWE 2K24 has revealed even more superstar ratings, including some controversial ones, like record-breaking Intercontinental Champion Gunther having the same 90 overall rating as Logan Paul. WWE 2K24 promises to feature a massive roster of superstars from Raw, SmackDown, NXT, and WWE's storied past.

2K Games confirms eight more wrestlers joining the playable roster of WWE 2K24, which launches on March 8. The updated roster of WWE 2K24 includes beloved legends, active members of the RAW and Smackdown rosters, and up-and-coming young talent from the NXT roster.
