2K has officially unveiled the highly anticipated WWE® 2K26, the latest addition to its flagship wrestling video game series developed by Visual Concepts. Set for launch on March 6, 2026, WWE 2K26 will be available across multiple platforms including PlayStation®5 (PS5®), Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch™ 2, and PC via Steam.
Demonstrating confidence, the current World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk graces the cover of the Standard Edition, a challenging role that underscores his status as a Triple Crown Champion. Punk, a celebrated and often controversial figure in WWE history, previously appeared on the cover of WWE ‘13 and will also take center stage as the focal point of the 2K Showcase in WWE 2K26.
The King of Kings Edition pays homage to the storied career and enduring influence of WWE Hall of Famer and current WWE Chief Content Officer, Paul “Triple H” Levesque. The Attitude Era Edition will evoke nostalgia for the iconic time in WWE history, featuring larger-than-life personalities such as “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, The Rock, and more, while the all-new “super-premium” Monday Night War Edition will spotlight stars from both WWE and WCW during the Attitude Era, including “Hollywood” Hulk Hogan and Goldberg.
Three special editions—the King of Kings Edition, Attitude Era Edition, and Monday Night War Edition—will be released one week ahead of the Standard Edition, allowing dedicated fans to access exclusive content and experiences. CM Punk expressed his excitement, saying, “As a kid, I could only dream of being on the cover of a video game. I joined a very exclusive group of WWE Superstars who have done it twice. This experience allows me to share my journey with fans in an authentic way.”
With numerous enhancements for gameplay and community discussions in mind, WWE 2K26 will introduce several new features, including additional match types and gameplay upgrades, reaffirming the commitment to delivering a refined and exhilarating gaming experience.

WWE 2K26 will be available in several editions, with pre-order bonuses including character packs, in-game currency, and even access to prior titles, creating an engaging offer for fans eager for the latest adventure in the squared circle.
