WWE 2K25 is announced with Roman Reigns as cover star. Bloodline Edition & Deadman editions also revealed. Game launches March 14, 2025, preorders Jan 28th.
WWE 2K25 has been officially announced, with Roman Reigns taking center stage as the cover star. This marks Reigns’ second appearance on the WWE 2K cover, following his previous feature alongside Becky Lynch in 2020. The game’s release date is set for March 14, 2025, and pre-orders will begin on January 28.
Cover Star and Editions
The announcement was made during Monday Night Raw on January 27th, where the cover was revealed to the public. Additionally, a special ‘Bloodline Edition’ will be available, showcasing Roman Reigns alongside his stablemates: Jimmy and Jey Uso, Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and manager Paul Heyman. A ‘Deadman’ edition, featuring The Undertaker, has also been announced, offering a range of options for fans.
The Bloodline’s Dominance
The inclusion of the Bloodline is a nod to their significant impact on the WWE universe. Roman Reigns, known as the ‘Tribal Chief,’ has been a dominant force, holding the Universal Championship for a record-breaking 1,300 days. His journey included a high-profile Tribal Combat match against Solo Sikoa, where he reclaimed his family’s sacred Ula Fala. The acknowledgement from Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson reinforced his position as the true champion.
Game Features
The game trailer offered glimpses of gameplay and teased a new city setting. The ‘Bloodline Edition’ cover further underscores the faction’s role, including stars such as Solo Sikoa, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, Sami Zayn, and Paul Heyman. This edition ties into showcase modes based on The Undertaker and The Bloodline.
Release and Pre-orders
Pre-orders for WWE 2K25 will go live on January 28th with different editions available, including the ‘Bloodline’ deluxe edition and the ‘Deadman’ edition. WWE Games shared the cover reveal and trailer on social media, marking the official launch of the game’s marketing campaign. 2K is set to reveal more about the game’s features soon.
The game’s cover was accidentally leaked a few weeks prior to the official announcement. However, the final design was kept the same. The inclusion of Paul Heyman alongside Roman Reigns on the standard cover reinforces the ongoing storyline and his role in the Bloodline.
