As William Regal would say: “WarGames!”
WWE 2K23 is introducing the double-ringed, double-caged WarGames in a WWE game. It’s a brutal match known for intense storytelling and gruesome violence. It was the centerpiece of last year’s Survivor Series Premium Live Event, featuring The Bloodline, Drew McIntyre, and Kevin Owens.
We also got a preview of “Showcase” mode, an interactive documentary playthrough of cover star John Cena’s career.
Alongside Cena, the game includes WWE superstars the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, “Raw” Women’s Champion Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley, Cora Jade, as well as celebrities like Logan Paul and Bad Bunny. We also saw WWE Hall of Famers like The Undertaker, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, and Hulk Hogan as available playable characters. The game marks the first WWE game for the returning Cody Rhodes since WWE 2K17.
