With 2K Sports’ official confirmation of WWE 2K24’s release later this year, fans of the WWE and video games are going wild. Many in the gaming community are eagerly awaiting the announcement, which was made through a social media update that featured the WWE 2K24 logo and the date 1.22.2024.
Since its 2013 partnership with 2K Sports, the WWE 2K franchise has been a staple of video game history, spanning the earliest home consoles. Fans are curious to see how the developers will commemorate the series’ milestone as WWE 2K24 marks the tenth installment.

The exact date of WWE 2K24’s release is still up in the air, but a sneak peek at the game’s packaging from 2K Games hints at a big reveal or announcement on January 22, 2024. Fans are eager to hear about possible enhancements, new features, and any thrilling changes that WWE 2K24 may bring, thanks to the success of previous 2K games in the series.
While WWE games have always been released in the summer at SummerSlam, the announcement for WWE 2K23 took place during the Royal Rumble, and the game was released in March, breaking with tradition. That fits in with the WrestleMania buzz, so it’s probable that WWE 2K24 will keep the March release pattern going. Possible dates include March 8, March 15, or March 22.
While everyone waits for the official announcement, WWE 2K24 fans can imagine most likely what’s in store based on previous installments:
- Potential Cover Stars: Speculation is rife about who might grace the cover of WWE 2K24. We may see more appearances from legendary wrestlers with long histories with WWE in upcoming games. People like Triple H, Randy Orton, Brock Lesnar, The Undertaker, and others are being thought about.
- Upgrades and New Features: After the introduction of the WarGames match type in WWE 2K23, fans are wondering what the highlight of WWE 2K24 will be. Players are getting antsy for the announcement of a new match type to go along with the next cover star.
- Enhanced Existing Modes: Building on the success of WWE 2K23’s MyGM mode, fans hope for improvements and refinements. Our hopes are that the pay-per-view schedule will be more organized and that iconic matches such as the Royal Rumble will be included. The MyRise and MyFaction modes will also receive ongoing improvements.
- Core Gameplay: The gameplay of WWE 2K24 will keep the core experience the same, but there will be iterative updates, new superstars, more match types, and general polish. New features could drastically alter the gameplay, but major overhauls are highly improbable. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it right?
