WWE 2K23, the next installment in the long-running franchise, has been officially revealed by 2K and Visual Concepts, along with details on its cover star, game modes, release date, and more. WWE 2K23 will be released on March 17, 2023, with John Cena on the cover of the standard, Deluxe, and Icon editions.
Following the successful format established by WWE 2K22, this new entry iterates and improves its core content. It also includes a new game mode called WarGames, a unique twist on the 2K Showcase featuring John Cena, and improvements to MyGM Mode.
WarGames is a single-player or multiplayer 3v3 and 4v4 game in which players compete in two side-by-side rings surrounded by a steel cage. The exact game rules are unknown, but WWE has held annual WarGame matches under its NXT brand since 2017, with SurvivorSeries WarGames 2022 being the first time it has appeared in a WWE PPV in this time.
Meanwhile, the 2K Showcase returns with the same Slingshot Tech found in WWE 2K22, spanning Cena’s 20-year WWE career and narrated by Cena himself.
MyGM mode has a few enhancements, such as more GMs to choose from and a custom GM. The addition of “multiple seasons” is perhaps the most significant improvement, as WWE 2K22’s MyGM mode ended after one season. Other enhancements include more show options, expanded match cards, and more match types, all to outperform the competitor GM in weekly ratings. Faction, MyRise, Universe, and the creation suite all return with a slew of new features, including the ability to play MyFACTION online and Universe expanding with a revamped story system.
WWE 2K23 releases on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X on March 17.
