Okay, so I gotta spill about this WWE thing. This isn’t just some random game drop, it’s more like WWE trying to reclaim some glory on the Switch. Remember when they had that, uh, less-than-awesome one before? Yeah, hoping this isn’t that.
Anyway—or, wait, right—let’s focus. WWE is stepping back into the ring with the next Switch 2. It’s coming soon, like, in a few weeks. They’ve already opened up preorders, and I was like, wow, they’re moving fast. July 23 is when WWE 2K25 is set to hit, and yeah, it’s been since 2017 since we had one of these on a Nintendo console.
So, they’re making this a bit of a royal affair. There’s the standard version if you’re like me and keeping it simple at $69.99. Then, there’s this “Deadman” edition—sounds spooky or something—which is all about The Undertaker. They’re slapping a $99.99 price tag on that one. Oh, and if you’re feeling extra, there’s the “Bloodline” edition. It’s priced at $129.99 and is themed around Roman Reigns and his crew that’s been running the show lately. Talk about a family affair, right?
Anyway—no, back to the main stuff—there’s gonna be over 300 characters, which is wild. They’re covering Raw, Smackdown, NXT, the whole deal. They’ve even added this “Island” mode, whatever that means. I dunno why, but the idea of wrestling on an island just makes me think of palm trees and chaos. Go figure.
