In the vein of annual releases, WWE 2K stands out as a series that differs from other sports titles of the same genre. Last year’s WWE 2K25 did so with its big feature on cover superstar Roman Reigns alongside the now-retired Undertaker in the ‘Deadman Edition’ for the game. Similarly, the same can also be said for its quick adoption of the Nintendo Switch 2 which shipped in July shortly a month after the console’s release.
Now this week, WWE 2K is back with WWE 2K26 and the notorious MMA-turned superstar CM Punk is the cover athlete for this year’s release. Not only that, but the ‘King of Kings’, ‘Attitude Era’, and ‘Monday Night War’ Editions bring emphasis to superstars Triple H, Stone Cold Steve Austin as well as Hulk Hogan respectively.
You can watch the announcement trailer in the video below:
“I enjoyed the experience of narrating the 2K Showcase, which gave me an opportunity to tell fans the straight, unfiltered story of the moments, matches, and controversies in my career. Players will get to step into my boots, relive some of my proudest WWE moments, and take on challenges I never had the opportunity to face,” CM Punk says in a statement being this year’s cover superstar.
“WWE 2K26 introduces several new community-requested match types and gameplay features. The team has put a lot of thought into refining the in-ring action and presentation, while also expanding creative options to allow players more freedom than ever before,” Visual Concepts president Greg Thomas added.
