2K has officially released the list of every WWE Superstar set to be featured in the upcoming WWE 2K26, including many of the organization’s biggest names. The annual WWE franchise has already set up some lofty expectations ahead of the wrestling game’s release, with some exciting new features confirmed for the game. WWE 2K26 will debut a brand-new version of the popular Showcase mode honoring CM Punk, alongside changes to The Island, MyFaction, My Rise, and plenty of other game modes. However, one of the biggest appeals of the game may be in its featured wrestlers.
WWE 2K26 is set to put a big focus on one of the most beloved eras for the wrestling promotion, centering on the late 1990s and early 2000s. The newest WWE game has already shown off two special launch versions with the Attitude Era and Monday Night War editions, both focusing on stars like Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock. WWE 2K26 is also introducing a multitude of new matches for players to try out, including 3 Stages of Hell, I Quit, Dumpster, and Inferno matches. Now, 2K is giving fans a full view of just how expansive WWE 2K26‘s roster will be.
WWE 2K26 Could Be Going Back to the Attitude Era, if Logan Paul Video is Any Indication
WWE 2K26 may put the focus on the wrestling organization’s beloved Attitude Era, hinted at through a recent video from Logan Paul.
WWE 2K26’s Roster is Jam-Packed with Stars and Legends
WWE 2K26 will boast an immense roster of some of WWE’s biggest names, with more than 400 wrestlers available to play. The roster includes a wide array of the biggest modern stars from WWE, with male wrestlers like Cody Rhodes, LA Knight, and Dominik Mysterio, alongside fan-favorite female talents like Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, and Asuka. WWE 2K26 boasts an impressive cast of Legends as well, with Golden Era stars like Hulk Hogan, Attitude Era personalities like the Dudley Boyz, and many more. WWE 2K26 is currently scheduled to release on March 13, coming exclusively to PC and new-gen consoles.
WWE 2K26‘s big lineup of recognizable names will fit perfectly into some of the new features coming with the game. 2K is officially bringing the WWE Draft to WWE 2K26‘s popular Universe mode, allowing even more customization for players building their own dream version of the WWE. MyFaction is also seeing intergender teams added to the game mode, with even more options to pick a player’s perfect tag partner. WWE 2K26‘s Ringside Pass Season 1 will even introduce several members of Lucha Libre AAA to the franchise for the first time, including Mr. Iguana and El Hijo del Vikingo among others.
WWE 2K26 has given fans plenty to be excited about for the game beyond its sizable cast of WWE wrestlers. 2K recently shared more details about the newest version of MyRise in WWE 2K26, with players taking on the role of a former WWE Superstar and seeing Paul Heyman playing an antagonistic role. Creation Mode will get some big improvements in 2K26, including the ability for players to create custom group entrances and a sizable boost to the number of slots for created wrestlers. WWE 2K26 even teased another fan-favorite from beyond WWE’s main roster appearing in the game, with Joe Hendry available as a pre-order bonus.
WWE 2K26 will mark a big step for the franchise, aside from its many new features and Superstars. WWE 2K26 will officially drop older-gen consoles from its release lineup, with the newest game in the series not launching on PS4, Switch, or Xbox One. The decision seems to have been made with the franchise’s performance in mind, with early trailers for 2K26 not only boasting improved graphics but also featuring upgrades to the game’s physics engine. WWE fans won’t have to wait too much longer to hop into the ring with WWE 2K26‘s launch just a few weeks away.
