2K and WWE have finally given fans the first details on WWE 2K24, but fans also got their first look at the game's Superstar roster. 2K revealed that Cody Rhodes, Bianca Belair, and Rhea Ripley will be gracing this year's standard and deluxe edition covers, and 2K also released the first screenshots of Rhodes and Ripley in action. While we're still waiting to see screenshots of Belair, we did get first looks at Asuka, Roman Reigns, Hulk Hogan, and Andre the Giant. Hogan and Andre will likely be part of the Forty Years of WrestleMania showcase mode, and hopefully, we'll see more famous moments soon. In the meantime, you can check out all of the new images on the next slide.
While we have to wait to see Asuka's full entrance, the screenshot of her removing her mask is easily one of the most impressive in the new set. The likeness seems to be spot-on, and the details in the facepaint and the mask stand out. Roman's likeness was good last year, but it's even better this year, and fans of Rhea Ripley will also be happy that her modern Judgement Day look and gear are represented in the game.
The roster is extensive this year, and we can't wait to see more of the roster in gameplay and screenshots ahead of the game's release. There will be four editions of WWE 2K24 to choose from, including a stacked Forty Years of WrestleMania edition, and you can find all of the details on all four below.
