After the success of WWE 2K25, fans are already buzzing about what the next installment might bring to the ring.
With every new entry, 2K tries to deliver a more realistic, feature-rich experience, and after improvements seen in recent titles, expectations are high for WWE 2K26.
When will WWE 2K26 be released?
While there hasn't been any official announcement, Take-Two has confirmed that WWE 2K26 is planned for the fiscal year 2026, meaning the latest it will be available is March 31, 2026.
Based on the consistent timing of the series, a March 2026 release is expected, with a full reveal at Royal Rumble 2026 in January.
What Platforms will WWE 2K26 be on?
There isn't any official word about this yet, but we can expect that WWE 2K26 will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, just like its predecessor. A Nintendo Switch 2 port is also expected, but later in summer 2026.
As developers are migrating towards current-gen gaming consoles, PS4 and Xbox One may not support the game.
What can Fans expect from WWE 2K26?
Longtime players of the franchise want big improvements, not just minor tweaks. Some heavily requested features include
- Massive graphical overhaul, rivaling the jump from 2K15 to 2K16.
- A long-overdue Undertaker Showcase or a Randy Orton career mode.
- A complete Universe Mode rework with new cutscenes, promos, and storyline tools.
- The return of Create-a-Story, custom music imports, and body morphing in the Creation Suite.
- A more immersive MyGM Mode with deeper control and flexibility.
- Free roam MyRise, merging elements from classic SmackDown vs. Raw seasons.
2K26 also faces criticism over monetization, with fans pushing back against MyFaction and gated content. Unless these issues get addressed and creation/customization is expanded, many players may skip it altogether.
