WWE 2K24 Releases Update 1.03

It seems as though WWE 2K24 potentially cut 14 wrestlers from the roster, as evidence of their existence in the game's files has been discovered. The recently-released WWE 2K24 has a massive roster of wrestlers for fans to choose from, from old-school grapplers to modern-day stars. But even though the WWE 2K24 roster is admittedly rather massive and comprehensive, there are still some wrestlers that didn't make the cut for one reason or another.

WWE 2K24 has released a brand-new update that users can download right now. WWE 2K24 was released earlier this month to mostly positive reviews, with critics praising the in-ring action and staggering amount of content. However, there is always room for improvement, and as such, developer Visual Concepts has released multiple post-launch updates for WWE 2K24 to address the game's lingering issues.

The contents of WWE 2K24's Pat McAfee DLC pack have been confirmed, and it includes names such as Pat McAfee and Boston Connor, among several others. Since the WWE 2K24 Season Pass announcement, fans have been looking forward to the arrival of additional playable Superstars such as The Dudley Boyz, Jade Cargill, Carlito, and The Great Muta, among others. However, one announced pack has caused some controversy for being the vaguest of the bunch.

A WWE 2K24 player recently recreated the legendary Sabu using the game’s character creation suite, but the superstar himself seems less than thrilled at the result. Sabu was a pioneering member of the original Extreme Championship Wrestling promotion, impressing fans with a hardcore style that blended high-flying acrobatics with the brutal use of weapons like steel chairs. He has appeared in numerous wrestling video games over the years, such as ECW Hardcore Revolution, the Legends of Wrestling series, and Backyard Wrestling: Don’t Try This At Home.

Fans have rediscovered a 9-year-old article published on the official WWE website back in 2015 that had Cody Rhodes on the list of potential superstars who would one day be the «next John Cena.» Cody Rhodes is currently one of the biggest stars in WWE, with such incredible fan support that the audience rejected a match between Roman Reigns and The Rock and willed Rhodes' WrestleMania rematch with Reigns back into existence.

Former WWE chairman and CEO Vince McMahon remains embroiled in a sexual misconduct lawsuit alleged by former employee Janel Grant.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s long-awaited New Game Plus update has finally been released, adding new features and bonus content that fans have been requesting since the game launched last October. While Spider-Man 2 earned much critical acclaim and quickly became one of Insomniac’s highest-selling titles, players decried not being able to replay story missions without creating a whole new save file, which in turn left them without much to do after clearing Spider-Man 2’s various side-activities the first time.

WWE 2K24 has partially censored Vince McMahon in its 40 Years of WrestleMania 2K Showcase Mode in the wake of the former chairman’s recent controversies. Earlier this year, ex-WWE employee Janel Grant filed a lawsuit accusing McMahon of sexually assaulting and trafficking her. WWE and parent company TKO have since distanced themselves from him, with McMahon stepping down from his position as executive chairman of the company and WWE no longer acknowledging him on its on-air programming.
