This year’s 2K Showcase will fittingly be themed around The Bloodline’s Dynasty and will retell the Bloodline saga and celebrate the legacy of the Anoa’i wrestling family. Fans will also be able to play new match-types, including underground matches, Bloodline Rules matches, and intergender matches, and Chain Wrestling is also making a return.
“I am personally and professionally excited that the Original and Only Tribal Chief and the extended Anoa’i family are the focus of WWE 2K25,” said Roman Reigns. “We’ve been building toward this moment for generations and I challenge players everywhere to show me and my Wiseman, Paul Heyman, what they’ve got, and prove they’re worthy of the attention of their Tribal Chief.”
You’ll also be able to brawl in new environments like the WWE Archives and NXT Parking Lot, and each player can control their own camera during the match as well, and you can get a rundown of the new features for this year’s game below.
