2K announced on the 2nd that 'WWE 2K26', developed by Visual Concepts, will officially launch globally on March 13. The game is heading to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam, with pre-orders currently live on the official website. Current World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk takes the spotlight as the cover star, leading a roster of over 400 wrestlers and debuting 4 new match types.

The heart of this instalment, '2K Showcase: Punked', features narration directly from CM Punk as he reflects on his storied career. You can relive his most iconic bouts and test your mettle in the 'Showcase Gauntlet' mode. With over 400 characters available, the roster spans from current heavy hitters like John Cena, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes to legendary icons such as Hulk Hogan and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Furthermore, the gameplay is bolstered by 4 fresh match types: 'I Quit', 'Inferno', 'Three Stages of Hell', and 'Dumpster'.

Mixed-gender matches are now on the card, and with reworked counter and stamina systems, expect a more tactical and dynamic experience inside the squared circle. The 'The Island' mode makes its way to PC, bringing a three-faction competition system and enhanced social features to keep you hooked. In a departure from traditional DLC models, the new 'Ringside Pass' system allows you to unlock various rewards simply by playing, with premium tiers offering exclusive characters and items. The Nintendo Switch 2 version takes full advantage of next-gen hardware, supporting touchscreen controls, single Joy-Con play, and cross-platform community creations.
