Development

[edit]

On the Monday Night Raw premiere on Netflix on January 6, during a segment with Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman, WWE 2K25 was teased after Reigns told Heyman of his plans of having a massive platform to "acknowledge" the entire world as the "Tribal Chief", following his victory over Solo Sikoa in a Tribal Combat match, on January 27.[2] On that aforementioned date, on an episode of Raw, Heyman revealed that Reigns would be the cover star for WWE 2K25.[3][4] 2K then released a trailer the following day showcasing gameplay, special edition game covers, and upcoming dates for pre-orders.[5]

On February 6, IGN released the first full gameplay trailer.[6]
