Titled ‘The Show Is On!’, their preview suggests a massive new chapter. The eagerly awaited wrestling sim has been announced to be released worldwide on the 13/03/2025. It will release for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. It will also launch on the next Nintendo Switch 2, in a landmark move.
Massive Roster Freedom
This time, there’s an extensive roster to choose from, empowering players like never before. The game offers more than 400 WWE ultimate knows and legends. This enables fans to create dream matches across the eras of WWE history. The central promise of the experience is clear player agency. As the announcement proclaims, “This is your ring, your rules, your era.”
New Matches, New World
Developers are introducing several fresh elements to redefine gameplay. Players can “Light up the ring with all-new match types.” These inductees are poised to introduce their own brand of chaotic adrenaline to the digital squared circle. And there’s a strange, new world to discover. Viewers are encouraged to “explore the secrets of The Island.” This hints at a substantial new area or game mode ripe for discovery.
The overarching theme remains total creative control. The trailer emphasizes that you can “Run the show your way in WWE 2K26.” This philosophy extends from match selection and superstar customization to overall universe management. The game asks players an open-ended question one last time. “What will you do with it?” The community’s imagination will provide the answer.
WWE 2K26 Launch
A pre-order phase is planned to follow soon after this official reveal. The March release puts WWE 2K26 as an important title on the early sports gaming calendar. With the largest ever roster in the series and some new features that were not present in previous entries, the developers aim to build upon their success with a much more comprehensive simulation. The worlds of wrestling and gaming will now look forward to March 13.
