BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
The bell has rung, and WWE 2K25 is officially underway, as the two premium editions of the game are out now.
The lineage begins again
If you’ve been waiting on ushering in yet another year of 2K Games’ annual WWE series, your day has arrived. Well, it has if you’re getting either the Bloodline Edition or the Deadman Edition, as both of those higher-end versions of WWE 2K25 are out now.
While all editions offered the Wyatt Sicks as a pre-order incentive, getting either premium version means you have a head start on those buying into the Standard, which isn’t set to arrive until March 14th. As hinted at too, both the Deadman and Bloodline Editions stock some nice bonuses all to themselves.
Altogether, the breakdown looks a little something like this:

2K Games press release
A quick note if you are going all-in on WWE 2K25, as the game’s big new mode “The Island” is only available on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. All other versions of the title won’t stock it, but will have what looks to be everything else you’ve come to expect from the series.
That’s to mean fans will find a chunky base-roster (of over 300), 2K Showcase (The Bloodline), MyFACTION, MyRISE, Universe, and more. And of course that’s all in addition to WWE 2K’s famed creation suite. Speaking of, you might want to be a little extra picky there. While we haven’t gotten official word on it, we’ve heard that the last-gen and PC version of the suite will be independent of the current generation one. Just some food for thought, as you pick which copy of the game you’ll be getting.
