WWE 2K26: Release date speculation and Showcase Mode details

It's been almost a year since the last WWE game, and hype is beginning to mount for the WWE 2K26 release date.

The WWE 2K series has been running since 2013, and for any gamers who love their wrestling, it's one of the highlights of the year.

Information about this year's game is starting to come out, so when could the WWE 2K26 release date be, and what do we know about the new instalment?

For everything you need to know, read on.

WWE 2K26 release date speculation

WWE 2K26 will likely release in March 2026.

For any longtime fans of the series, this is hardly a surprise, as all of the last four WWE 2K games have launched in March, going back to WWE 2K22.

That being said, if you want to make extra sure, Insider Gaming recently reported that they had received exclusive details that 2K26 would be launching in March.

The game will almost certainly launch on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, and is fairly likely to receive PS4 and Xbox One versions too.

Last year, the game came to Nintendo Switch 2 in July, and we expect that a port will come later in 2026 this time around as well.

What to expect from Showcase Mode in WWE 2K26

WWE 2K26's Showcase Mode will feature CM Punk, according to an exclusive from Insider Gaming.

The mode will be narrated by CM Punk and feature three different sections of matches, chronicling Punk's career.

The first section will let players replay some of Punk's favourite matches, while the second will feature some 'what if' matches, asking what could have been if Punk had not left in 2014.

Lastly, some fantasy matches will pit Punk against a few opponents that he never had the chance to fight in his career.

As and when we know more about the mode, we'll be sure to update our page, so be sure to check back later!
