WWE 2K23: WarGames, new stars shown off in gameplay trailer

The latest gameplay trailer for WWE 2K23 has revealed new examines returning and debuting wrestlers, along with the first meaty glimpse in the new WarGames match type. John Cena, Roman Reigns, and Bad Bunny kick off a clip, with their character models looking impressive.

Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins are up next – with both looking sleek and shiny, as you’d expected. Rhodes’ face isn’t too accurate, unfortunately, but his gear looks absolutely stunning.

In addition to main roster stars like Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair, the trailer confirms NXT standouts including Cora Jade and Alba Fyre (the former Kay Lee Ray) will be included in the game. Other favourites from NXT – Bron Breakker, Grayson Waller, and Indi Hartwell – are also likely to make the cut this year, although we’ll need to stay tuned for confirmation.

As mentioned, WWE 2K23 marks the debut of the WarGames chamber in the WWE 2K game series. This double-ring setup allows for players to take on a far more epic match type, where the action can continue between either ring, as teams fight for dominance within a steel cage.

Also revealed included in the new gameplay trailer is really a raft of beloved wrestling legends including ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage, ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin, Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, and also the Rock.

Hulk Hogan is also there.

Other roster members revealed in the new trailer include Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Austin Theory, Drew McIntrye, Sheamus, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Logan Paul, and The Miz, with sufficient more set to be announced ahead of the game’s launch.

Notably, it appears Zayn continues to be area of the Bloodline group within the WarGames match of the trailer. He made a decision to divorce the audience at the 2023 Royal Rumble in January – likely past too far for the game’s developers to tweak the experience. Regardless, the knowledge looks set to become a fun, chaotic here we are at all relevant parties.
