Throw in an all-new MyRise with the ability to unlock jobber favourites such as Cole Queen and Odyssey Rift, expanded GM Mode, and the returning Universe – oh, for that mode to have been given the resources ploughed into The Island – and this remains a colossal package even if you never go anywhere near VC.

That’s not a bad thing though, as the general flow of matches across the last couple of WWE 2K games has been nothing short of excellent. That said, the team’s brought back some highly requested features for 2K25 while introducing a handful of new ones to keep things feeling fresh.

While there are some newly-introduced features, such as The Island, most of the game remains intact from 2K24. New roster additions are the biggest appeal, while subtle gameplay changes also bring something fresh to the game. But is it worth the investment of a new video game?
