Since 2K shifted its launch window for WWE video games to March in 2022, it is secure to imagine WWE 2K24 might be launched a few months from now. The studio beginning the teases for what the following installment will embody has just about confirmed that. The social media teasers started this week with an enormous announcement approaching Monday. WWE Superstars are being requested who they suppose needs to be on the duvet, however my focus has been on the nonetheless pictures as I am satisfied they’re indicating the return of a fan favourite Showcase mode.
40 Years Of WrestleMania
Ten years in the past, on WWE 2K14, Showcase mode targeted on the historical past of WrestleMania. Put collectively to have a good time the upcoming WrestleMania 30, that yr’s showcase allow you to play by means of a few of the largest matches in WrestleMania historical past. With WrestleMania 40 taking place proper after WWE 2K24 will nearly actually be launched, an up to date and polished return of that exact same showcase mode can be a unbelievable thought, and it looks like 2K has already been teasing that.
The primary picture the studio posted on social media was a sleeveless referee shirt with a cranium emoji within the caption. Nearly actually a Stone Chilly reference not simply due to the cranium, however as a result of that is the shirt Steve Austin wore when he refereed the Battle of the Billionaires at WrestleMania 23. That alone considerably satisfied me we’re getting a 40 years of WrestleMania showcase mode in WWE 2K24, after which the second teaser picture posted has me satisfied.
Particular Referees And Caskets
Sharing a photograph of a coffin with the 2K24 emblem on it, the eerie merchandise is undoubtedly a reference to The Undertaker. There isn’t a WWE Famous person extra synonymous with WrestleMania than The Deadman, and if this yr’s showcase goes to allow us to relive a few of WrestleMania’s greatest matches, just a few bouts from Undertaker’s streak will certainly be in there. Maybe a touch that his showdown with Mark Henry at WrestleMania 22, which was a casket match, might be included within the match record.
On high of teasing a possible 40 years of WrestleMania showcase mode, the 2 pictures shared to this point additionally counsel dormant match varieties lacking from WWE video games for years is likely to be returning in 2K24. It has been some time since gamers have been in a position to assume the function of a particular visitor referee, and casket matches have been lacking for the higher a part of a decade too. Reintroducing these match varieties, and possibly just a few extra, by means of a beefier model of what I feel was the sequence’ greatest showcase mode can be a unbelievable thought.
