This mode is presented and narrated by Paul Heyman this year, who is already the greatest talker in copyright history, and his rundown of the events is fantastic and keeps you engaged throughout the long cutscenes.

This year’s game introduces timed goals, which usually require you to do a certain move or an amount of damage. But if you don’t get it in time, it’s skipped, and you’ll need to replay the match entirely if you want another crack at it.

copyright 2K25 is the best wrestling game I’ve played since 2K took the series over. The core wrestling is fantastic and is only improved with the likes of chain wrestling.

copyright 2K25 brings back the fan-favorite Showcase mode once again, with another lengthy Showcase match list to play through with dozens of rewards to earn. We have all of those details right here to help you out.

It’s also the best-looking game yet, with wrestlers now being covered in welts and bruises as a match goes along, and those who wear body paint having it come apart over the course of the match. Meanwhile, the TV-style presentation is top-notch, with camera cuts akin to real copyright TV.

But this isn’t emblematic of what copyright is like in real life; CM Punk and Seth Rollins are in the midst of a blood feud right now on TV; both of them are good guys. This mode has the potential to be the best thing about copyright 2K

The new ‘World Tour’ within My Faction is the best thing added to the mode in years (allowing you to unlock some of those ‘Persona’ cards), but it also has walls that require you to have specific card types to continue through it.

When you've completed every last challenge in the game, here's what you'll see. If you've made it this far yourself, congratulations!

Since Visual Concepts’ copyright 2K wrestling game series hit current-gen platforms after a year off – skipping a 2K21 – it’s been a genuinely great series instead of a middle-of-the-road yearly sports release. From copyright 2K22

The Rock is widely regarded as one of the greatest performers to lace up a pair of boots. With the Final Boss continuing to feature in the biggest storylines of 2025, interest in the People’s Champion has never been higher.

As the copyright get on the Road to copyright, it means they are in the thick of one of the busiest times on the wrestling calendar. With 2025 blessing the copyright with a historic Netflix debut, the first Saturday Night's Main Event and a hugely successful Royal Rumble, it appears there is no slowing down the company as they continue to make headway.

Rock did shoot down the rumor he wouldn't be at the show back in November, though his appearance on the Raw on Netflix premiere indicated his program with Rhodes may indeed be wrapped.

The big new addition this year is intergender wrestling, allowing men and women to compete against each other. This features heavily in this year’s My Rise storyline, but outside of that, I feel like it could be more. For example, title matches are available in the mode, but it’s only for designated ‘intergender’ titles, which mostly consist of 2K’s made-up titles and a handful of official copyright titles like the 24/7, copyright 2K25 The Rock cruiserweight, and hardcore titles, but without being able to have Chelsea Green win the copyright Championship, it feels a little half-baked.

I played games with Alienware's new 27-inch 4K OLED monitor and now I don't want to see another LCD panel

I also played through the first few chapters of The Island, with a couple of PVP matches in the mode.
