This March, WWE faithful can step into the ring and Finish The Story with “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes, Superstars Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair, new match types, updated gameplay, and more.
2K and WWE have announced WWE 2K24. The latest installment of the franchise features several advancements, including 2K Showcase…of the Immortals. Forty years in the making, WWE 2K24’s Showcase Mode puts players in control, playing through the most iconic moments in WrestleMania history through gameplay morphed to live-action footage and back again for the most immersive WrestleMania video game experience to date. Four new match types were announced including Ambulance and Special Guest Referee, two new MyRISE experiences, and more.
The Standard Edition is, well… standard, and runs $59.99. Deluxe Edition comes in at $99.99, with WWE 2K24 for PS4™ and PS5™, Season Pass, Nightmare Family Pack, and Deluxe Edition Bonus Pack. For $119.99, the WWE 2K24 40 Years of WrestleMania Edition comes with WWE 2K24 for PS4™ and PS5™, Nightmare Family Pack, Forty Years of WrestleMania Pack (Season Pass, 5 DLC Packs, MyRISE Mega-Boost, SuperCharger, Rhea Ripley MyFACTION Evo Card, Bianca Belair MyFACTION Evo Card, Rhea Ripley Alt Attire, Bianca Belair Alt Attire, Showcase Superstars Roster Unlock, WrestleMania 40 Arena, “Macho King” Randy Savage – WrestleMania 6, Rey Mysterio – WrestleMania 22, Triple H – WrestleMania 30, Charlotte Flair – WrestleMania 33, Rhea Ripley – WrestleMania 36, and Gold MyFACTION for ALL included cards).
For my dollar, the Deluxe and 40 Years of Wrestlemania Editions are worth the extra coin for the Nightmare Family Pack alone. You get Dusty Rhodes (’76), Stardust, Undashing Cody Rhodes, “Superstar” Billy Graham, Mattel Cody Rhodes (Bruised) Playable Character, along with some corresponding MyFaction cards.
