We are just 14 days away from the launch of WWE 2K24 on March 8, 2024. The highly anticipated annual release of the franchise has fans excited about the new content and game modes it will bring. To build up the hype even more, WWE announced three fresh faces and features that should excite all wrestling fans. The 2K24 version will have every wrestler on the current roster and will feature 40 years of WrestleMania for fans to enjoy. This will be a step up from last year’s edition with improved gameplay and a few tweaks to the mechanics.
WWE 2K24 will feature three-ring announcers, including Samantha Irvin
The main point of the WWE 2K games, including 2K24, is to recreate the magic of the WWE folklore in games. With hyper-realistic entrances and sets with all the wrestlers on the main roster, this is where WWE fans come to live out their dream matches. So, how realistic can the game be without the ring announcers? WWE recently announced that WWE 2K24 will feature not one but three ring announcers: Alicia Taylor, Mike Rome, and Samantha Irvin. Irvin has gained a huge following online thanks to the impressive and passionate way she announces the wrestlers.

WWE 2K24 will honor the late great Bray Wyatt
While WWE 2K24 has put a ton of emphasis on Cody Rhodes with the tagline ‘Finish your story,’ there has been a ton of work put into honoring Bray Wyatt. While the iconic wrestler’s normal look will feature in a DLC pack, The Fiend will be among the roster of players to choose from.
