Gameplay

Like its predecessor, WWE 2K24 features arcade and simulation wrestling gameplay. Several gimmick matches have returned to the franchise, such as ambulance, casket, gauntlet, and special guest referee matches. The "Backstage Brawl" mode was updated with a larger variety of weapons and four-player multiplayer. New combat features include "Super Finishers"—which allows players to use all three of their finisher charges at once to perform a higher-powered move, the ability to dive onto groups of opponents, and new types of objects as weapons such as microphones and trash cans.

The Showcase mode, entitled "Showcase... of the Immortals", is themed around notable matches from the history of WrestleMania, including recreations of their respective arenas (such as the WrestleMania 39 arena), from Ricky Steamboat vs. Randy Savage at WrestleMania III for the WWE Intercontinental Championship to Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 39 for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship (WWE and Universal belts), which culminates with a fictional 30 man Royal Rumble match at the WrestleMania X arena featuring all of the superstars featured in the showcase to determine the "Champion of WrestleMania".

Development

In May 2023, during an annual quarterly earnings call held by 2K's holding company Take-Two Interactive, WWE 2K24 was announced as an upcoming title set to be released in March 2024 fiscal year.

The game was officially announced on January 22, 2024, for a release on March 8 for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Cody Rhodes was announced as the cover star of the standard edition, while Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair were announced as the cover stars of the deluxe edition. A "40 Years of WrestleMania" Edition was also announced, with its cover featuring a collage of current and past WWE performers.

Reception

WWE 2K24 received "generally favorable reviews", according to review aggregator Metacritic. On OpenCritic, the game received a "strong" rating according to 85 percent of critics' recommendations.

Mark Delaney of GameSpot noted that WWE 2K24 made "appreciable, albeit not revolutionary, improvements to last year's solid foundation across the board", including more "fluid" chaining of moves and Super Finishers, albeit noting that hair physics were still "janky", and the animations associated with top rope moves were still prone to "warping" that "betray the otherwise commendable level of realism" in the game's presentation. He also noted incremental improvements to MyGM and MyUniverse modes, and the WrestleMania showcase to be akin to a "playable WrestleMania documentary" that blends archive footage with in-engine gameplay, but felt that it needed more interviews to help "contextualize" the matches.
