There is excitement brewing regarding a potential announcement for WWE 2K25 on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, particularly following a teasing video from the wrestling group, Judgment Day. The latest installment of WWE’s video game franchise, which was released for consoles and PC in March, has pleased fans with enhancements, such as intergender matches, chain wrestling mechanics, and expanded MyRise and Showcase modes. While some features, like The Island mode, have garnered mixed reviews, the game is largely considered a significant evolution of the WWE 2K series.
The publisher, 2K, confirmed at April’s Nintendo Switch 2 Direct livestream that WWE 2K25 will be available on the new console. This announcement marks the return of the WWE 2K series to Nintendo hardware since WWE 2K18 on the original Switch, which had faced criticism due to various technical issues. However, some players have reported better performance on the Switch 2 with their physical copies.
As the news progresses, the implication of the Judgment Day’s cryptic message hints at possibly releasing WWE 2K25 for the Switch 2 on July 1, 2025. While it remains uncertain if this date indicates the launch or a confirmation announcement, the teaser showcases WWE talents Raquel Rodriguez, JD McDonagh, and Finn Balor discussing how players will unleash their group’s dominance across the globe. Observant fans noted that JD McDonagh appeared to be holding what resembles a Switch 2 game case.
Additionally, the excitement doesn’t end with WWE 2K25; 2K is also set to launch NBA 2K on the Switch 2, alongside other titles such as Civilization 7. As fans await further updates, they can look forward to exploring the world of wrestling with their favorite superstars on the go.
