WWE 2K25: First Glimpses and Roster Speculation
Xbox recently teased WWE 2K25 with exciting screenshots, showcasing updated character models for CM Punk, Damien Priest, Liv Morgan, and Cody Rhodes, strongly suggesting their inclusion in the playable roster. With WWE 2K24's March 2024 release, speculation points towards a similar launch window for its sequel in 2025, though official confirmation remains elusive.
The cover athlete remains a mystery, fueling much fan debate. Past WWE 2K games have featured legendary and current superstars alike, from Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock to Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley, and Bianca Belair. While a Steam page leak hints at a potential cover star, official details remain scarce, with a promised reveal slated for January 28, 2025.
Xbox's Twitter post, celebrating WWE RAW's Netflix debut, unveiled the screenshots featuring the aforementioned wrestlers. The improved likeness of Cody Rhodes and Liv Morgan, in particular, generated significant positive feedback. The tweet also sparked discussions about potential Xbox Game Pass availability, though this remains unconfirmed.
Confirmed Playable Characters:

Although these four are confirmed, the full WWE 2K25 roster remains undisclosed. Significant roster changes within WWE, including both departures and new signings, have fans eagerly anticipating the inclusion of their favorites. Speculation includes the Bloodline members Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga, and the newly revamped Wyatt Six.
While the initial announcement came from Xbox, the game is expected to launch on PlayStation and PC as well. Whether it will be current-gen only is yet to be determined. A link in the comments of the WWE Games Twitter post directs to a wishlist page featuring Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam logos, reinforcing the January 28, 2025 date for further announcements.
