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?
WWE 2K24 Q&A – On WrestleMania Moments, Match Types, Crossplay, and the State of the PC Version
09.02.2024 - 09:46 / wccftech.com / Vince Macmahon / Nathan Birch / Royal Rumble
The WWE 2K franchise has spent the last couple of years finding its feet again after the disastrously received WWE 2K20, with last year’s WWE 2K23 being quite a solid effort in my estimation, even if it wasn’t quite the cohesive overall package I was hoping for. This year’s WWE 2K24 looks to build on that sturdy foundation with a wider array of new features than last year, including a new 2K Showcase celebrating WrestleMania’s 40th birthday, several new match types, gameplay updates like Super Finishers, and more (you can check out my full hands-on impressions here).
As in the past, I was able to sit down with WWE 2K gameplay producer Bryan Williams to discuss the team’s vision for this year’s game, with longtime series creative director Lynell Jinks also popping in to answer some of my technical questions. We cover a wide array of topics, including what goes into making a big decade-spanning WrestleMania Showcase mode, new match types like Ambulance and Gauntlet, the series’ lack of crossplay, the state of PC optimization and whether DLSS or FSR will be supported, and more.

But first, the elephant in the room. In recent days, Vince McMahon was freshly accused of sexual coercion, assault, and trafficking in a bombshell lawsuit that also implicated some other WWE employees/talent. You can read more about it via The Wall Street Journal, although a warning, the details are upsetting. Despite this becoming a major mainstream news story, WWE largely tried to avoid the subject this weekend during the Royal Rumble, while 2K PR would only say they were “focused on WWE 2K24” when I broached the subject. The latter is fair enough as the WWE 2K series is produced largely independently from WWE by Visual Concepts, and from my interaction with the team over the years, they’ve always come across as genuinely enthusiastic fans who just want to make the best wrestling game possible. There are unquestionably going to be further developments in this story, which may affect some people’s ability to enjoy WWE and associated products like the WWE 2K games. That said, for now, we’re going to focus on Visual Concepts’ work and what they’ve been preparing for WWE 2K24.
So, 40 years of WrestleMania. It's a lot of stuff to cover. How do you pick which matches and moments that you wanted to focus on?
Bryan Williams: 40 years of WrestleMania. Yes, it is a lot to wade through. I mean, 40 years of the biggest event in WWE history. You know, the one good thing is that because there's so much to pull from, it makes it easy as far as definitely wanting to do this match, but then having to whittle that down into a manageable number of matches is the other
