Cody Rhodes Takes Center Stage in Upcoming Game
Wrestling enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the release of WWE 2K24 in just a few months, and now the game's cover star has been unveiled to the excitement of fans.
Cody Rhodes, a beloved athlete in the wrestling world, will grace the cover of the Standard Edition of WWE 2K24, set to launch on March 8, 2024. This announcement comes roughly a year after the previous release, building anticipation among gamers.
2K Games teased fans for a week with vignettes featuring various sports personalities and WWE wrestlers, leaving fans guessing about the cover star. However, the wait is finally over, and Rhodes has been unveiled as the face of the game.
After departing from WWE in 2014, Rhodes made a significant impact on the wrestling scene in promotions like NJPW and was instrumental in establishing AEW. His return to WWE in 2022 created a splash, and he has since become a fan favorite.
Having headlined WrestleMania in 2023, Rhodes is considered one of the top contenders to lead the Royal Rumble this week. Fans can expect an impressive performance from him in the upcoming game.
Pre-Order Bonus Pack and Deluxe Edition
In addition to the Standard Edition, WWE 2K24 offers exciting bonus content for fans who pre-order the game. The Nightmare Family Pack includes four playable characters: "Undashing" Cody Rhodes, Stardust, Rhodes' father Dusty Rhodes, and Dusty's rival Billy Graham. This pack is a tribute to Rhodes' illustrious career.
The Deluxe Edition of WWE 2K24 not only features Rhodes on the cover but also showcases two prominent women wrestlers: Rhea Ripley and Bianca Blair. Ripley, who held the Women's World Champion title for most of last year, is a member of the Judgement Day faction. Blair, known for her captivating charisma, remains a fan favorite despite the end of her year-long title reign.

For fans who want a nostalgic experience, WWE 2K24 offers the 40 Years of WrestleMania Special Edition. This edition includes legendary wrestlers such as Andre the Giant, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Hulk Hogan. Players can relive iconic moments and matches from WrestleMania's rich history.
