The news, verified via a fresh listing on the Nintendo eShop, marks a significant milestone for both the WWE 2K franchise and Nintendo's new gaming platform. First announced in a Nintendo Direct showcase in April, WWE 2K25’s arrival on Switch 2 was initially confirmed by 2K, but detailed information was sparse at the time.

The inclusion of the WWE 2K series on Nintendo Switch 2 highlights not only the platform’s robust capabilities but also Nintendo’s renewed commitment to hosting high-profile sports and entertainment titles. Innovative New Modes and Franchise Firsts In WWE 2K25, players can embark on an all-new adventure by stepping outside the ring and onto The Island, an immersive, WWE-themed world teeming with arenas, challenges, and live events.

For the first time in franchise history, gamers can fight to join The Bloodline with "The Original Tribal Chief" Roman Reigns, offering new narrative depth as players customize their MySUPERSTAR character across multiple chapters. The game introduces a revamped Showcase mode, hosted by "The Wiseman" Paul Heyman, allowing fans to honor one of wrestling's most storied dynasties.

Here, players can relive iconic matches and stage fantasy showdowns featuring The Bloodline, WWE legends, and today's superstars. New Gameplay Mechanics and Multiplayer Enhancements Breaking new ground, WWE 2K25 debuts intergender wrestling—a long-requested feature among fans.

Players can also enjoy the return of chain wrestling, as well as the inclusion of "Underground" and "Bloodline Rules" match types and exhilarating barricade dives.

The beloved MyGM mode is back, now featuring online multiplayer functionality.

Aspiring general managers can draft a lineup of WWE Superstars and Legends, guiding their brand through multi-week seasons for a deeper managerial experience. The refined Universe mode offers advanced options, including commentary-driven promos, new cutscenes, branching story choices, and multiple outcomes, providing players with greater immersion and personalization. Expansive Roster and MyRISE Storyline True to its legacy, WWE 2K25 features an over 300-strong roster spanning generations of talent.

Iconic figures such as Seth "Freakin" Rollins, The Undertaker, "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Jade Cargill, and more are included.

Additionally, the MyRISE mode presents an original, multi-gender storyline in which players control a Superstar from the women’s or men’s divisions.

Featuring major names like Bayley, Kevin Owens, Jey Uso, and Bianca Belair, this narrative follows a takeover attempt of the NXT universe. Platform Innovation and Continued Legacy The arrival of WWE 2K25 on Nintendo Switch 2 continues the tradition of innovation set by the WWE 2K series while showcasing new capabilities inherent to Nintendo's latest hardware.

With several gameplay upgrades, multiplayer options, and an impressive roster, the game is poised to deliver an authentic and expansive WWE experience for Switch 2 owners when it launches on July 23, 2025.
