The highly anticipated release of WWE 2K24 is just around the corner, and the latest gameplay trailer titled “Legacy” has given fans a closer look at what to expect from the upcoming game.
The trailer showcases the Showcase of the Immortals mode, which is designed to celebrate 40 years of WrestleMania and the incredible stars who have been a part of it. Viewers are treated to a glimpse of various match types, including the Ambulance Match, Casket Match, and an updated look at Backstage Brawls. The trailer also teases the Special Guest Referee Match and features footage from moments that will be playable through the Showcase of the Immortals.
The trailer is packed with notable WWE Superstars, especially in the segment focused on the Showcase of the Immortals. Viewers can spot WrestleMania legends such as Hulk Hogan, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Rhea Ripley, The Ultimate Warrior, Charlotte Flair, John Cena, Triple H, and The Undertaker. Notably, the trailer also reveals an updated cover for the Forty Years of WrestleMania Edition of WWE 2K24 that omits Brock Lesnar. This has caused speculation among fans, and GameSpot has reached out to 2K for clarification on Lesnar’s status in the game.
Towards the end of the trailer, several more WWE Superstars are revealed for the 2K24 roster, including Seth Rollins, Trish Stratus, Rey Mysterio, and The Judgment Day. The trailer also showcases updates to the Backstage Brawl mode, which will feature more interactive props and environments, adding to the excitement and unpredictability of matches.

One of the highlights of the trailer is the introduction of the Casket Match, a new mode for 2K24 that sees players attempting to place their opponent in an open casket and closing the lid. The Undertaker taking on Shawn Michaels in this match type promises to be a thrilling and intense experience for players. Additionally, the Special Guest Referee Match is showcased, featuring Randy Orton, Solo Sikoa, and Kevin Owens, with the referee taking a more active role in the match.
