A new WWE title is in the works, marking the 4 decades of WrestleMania, and will be released on the PS4 and PS5 platforms on March 8, 2024—WWE 2K24.
40 years certainly defines WrestleMania as an enduring franchise, which inevitably harkens back to the events that made it an institution that’s still adored to this day. In celebration of the franchise’s latest milestone, WWE 2K24 will feature “a collection of some of the most unforgettable, career-defining matches”.
For the hardcore fans, that means scratching that nostalgic itch in its full glory as seen on either last-gen or next-gen Sony platforms. As such, greats such as Stone Cold Steve Austin, Kane, and The Undertaker, among others, expectedly make up the game’s “iconic roster”.
New, old, and improved features
WWE 2K24 does not just pay tribute to the Legends that served as its strong foundation throughout the years. It also comes with something new to offer, too. Icing to the cake are new match types that add to the chaotic nature of wrestling, such as Gauntlet Match, Casket Match, Ambulance Match, and Special Guest Referee. And for the first time, up to four players can now engage in a rumble in a Backstage Brawl.
But of course, familiar match types, like Submission, TLC, Hell in a Cell, etc., are making a comeback as well.
Speaking of making a return, modes such as MyFaction, MyRise, and MyGM are coming back as well to offer the same, if not more, fun experience as the previous iteration of the series.
The Universe mode is also made better, too, with “expanded rivalry actions, all-new cutscenes, and support for double-title matches”.
