2K have announced that Roman Reigns has taken the cover for WWE 2K25, at least on the standard version, with the game also now dated for release on March 14. Check out the first trailer for the game below.

We already knew that the game was coming, as the studio released a bunch of screens a few weeks back, but this is the first footage we have of the game. We also have a few new screens to enjoy for the game.

There are three covers to the game, as 2K have done for years now, with Roman Reigns striking a heroic pose on the Standard Edition cover as his “Wiseman,” Paul Heyman looks on. Celebrating the 35th anniversary of one of the most feared and iconic Superstars in WWE history, The Undertaker, cuts an imposing profile on the Deadman Edition cover.

Finally, The Bloodline Edition cover features members of both Roman Reigns’ and Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline factions, including Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Paul Heyman, Sami Zayn, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa, interwoven into the roots and branches of the iconic Bloodline family tree.

While the game is a yearly thing, 2K have promised a lot of updates to the core of the experience. Here are the highlights:

• 2K Showcase: The Bloodline’s Dynasty: The all-new 2K Showcase, hosted by “The Wiseman” Paul Heyman, celebrates one of the most iconic wrestling family dynasties - The Bloodline and the extended Anoa’i family.
