WWE 2K25 has officially revealed its first cover star, and it's none other than the legendary Undertaker. The newest installment in the WWE 2K franchise has slowly been revealing gameplay features and character models to hype up fans before its release.
As with previous releases, WWE 2K typically begins sharing more about cover stars, gameplay, and other features around this time. In 2024, Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley, and Bianca Belair were featured on WWE 2K24's covers, along with a special edition commemorating the 40-year legacy of WrestleMania.
WWE 2K25 Teases Possible Return of Much-Requested Gameplay Feature
A new teaser clip from WWE 2K25 implies that a much-requested feature could be making its comeback in the upcoming game.
While WWE 2K25 hasn't revealed its cover stars from the current roster, it was recently shared on social media that The Undertaker is fronting the Deadman Edition of the game. This special release may pay homage to the legendary wrestler's impressive career as he celebrates the 35th year of his debut later in 2025. The features players can expect in the Deadman Edition are still unknown, but it's possible that WWE 2K25 will pay homage to The Undertaker's most iconic matches, from his Brothers of Destruction tag matches with Kane to his undefeated WrestleMania streak.
WWE 2K25 Deadman Edition Release Date
- No release date has been announced. More WWE 2K25 details will be revealed on January 28, 2025.
WWE and developer 2K have yet to reveal the official release date of WWE 2K25, but the latter wrote on its website that it will share more information on January 28, 2025. The past three WWE 2K games came out in March, which is around WrestleMania season, so it's likely that the next installment might follow the same trend.
Many WWE 2K fans expressed their excitement after seeing The Undertaker's cover variant for WWE 2K25. Some are also speculating if the game will give them a chance to break The Undertaker's WWE streak in a special match mode. Meanwhile, a select few were unimpressed to see The Undertaker as a cover star again because other WWE games have featured him heavily in the past.
WWE 2K25's main cover stars still remain unknown, and many fans are unsure what to expect, as many standout talents have taken the stage over the past year. One seemingly plausible choice is Roman Reigns because of an exchange during the premiere of Raw on Netflix, in which Paul Heyman told the wrestler that he needed "a platform from which the whole world can acknowledge you." Another popular choice is CM Punk, who has seen attention-grabbing storylines and performances since he returned last year. On the women's side, Liv Morgan and Tiffany Stratton are popular choices because of their impactful stories and title runs.
WWE video games have always been popular, as the over-the-top action of pro wrestling makes for great gaming fun, especially with friends.
2K Sports began publishing WWE games in 2013 and have taken the series down a more serious, simulation-style route. The franchise looked to be dead and buried after the disastrous WWE 2K20, though it seems to have found its feet again.
