Attention all wrestling aficionados and armchair referee wannabes! A shiny new DLC pack has been unleashed for WWE 2K25. This one’s all about the legendary career of John Cena—yes, that guy who seems to pop up everywhere in pop culture, except in your winning lottery numbers.
What’s in the Bag? Oh Wait, It’s a Wrestling Ring!
Brace yourselves, because the Farewell Tour Edition Pack is here, ready to knock the socks off wrestling fans everywhere at the cost of $14.99 / £13.49. The loot includes:
- Playable Brock Lesnar – Because who doesn’t want to unleash a beast?
- Playable ‘Ron Cena’ (R-Truth) – Double the Cenas, double the fun!
- Playable WrestleMania 41 John Cena – The prince of the ring, live and in color!
- Playable Dr of Thuganomics John Cena – For those days when feeling excessively lyrical is a must.
- Five John Cena Farewell Tour t-shirt cosmetic items – Fashion statements have never been so… wrestle-tastic!
- 15,000 VC – Virtual coins that can practically make you feel rich in a digital sense.
The Deluxe Farewell Package
For the brave souls yet to wrestle their way through the game, fear not! The Farewell Tour Edition also teases a delightful combo: the WWE 2K25 Bloodline Edition, which comes with all DLC packs released thus far and our fabulous Farewell Tour Edition Pack—available now for just $149.99 / £139.99. That’s right, forget a new console; your wallet just got body-slammed!
What About That Season Pass?
And here’s the kicker: this Farewell Tour Edition Pack is as standalone as that one friend who insists they don’t need a partner for trivia night. It’s not included in the game’s Season Pass, which consists of five other DLC packs, four of which are out and about like a family of wild raccoons.
DLC Chronicles: The Plot Thickens
Let’s take a stroll down memory lane, or perhaps a bumpy road of downloadable content:
- The very first DLC pack, known as the New Wave Pack, introduced Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin, Stephanie Vaquer, and Guilia, along with a rumor of a ‘special celebrity guest character’ still waiting for their backstage pass.
- Next up was the Dunk & Destruction Pack featuring not just wrestlers like The Great Khali and Abyss but also three NBA stars – Shaquille O’Neal, Tyrese Haliburton, and Jalen Brunson. Because why not have an all-star jam in the ring?
- Then came the Fearless Pack, adding glitter and glam with New Jack, Jordynne Grace, Penta, Bull Nakano, and KSI. Seriously, KSI? That’s a crossover event waiting to happen for the ages.
- Last month’s wrestling prom, the Attitude Era Superstars Pack, saw the return of Road Dogg Jesse James, Badd Ass Billy Gunn, Mark Henry, D’Lo Brown, and Victoria—talk about a nostalgic throwback!
- The grand finale? Saturday Night’s Main Event, dropping in November, will star Jesse Ventura, Mr. Wonderful, Tito Santana, the Junk Yard Dog, and Sid Justice. Who said nostalgia was dead?
Critics Weigh In (As If They Could Pin It Down)
If wrestling game reviews had a championship belt, this one would probably take it home. Critics have lauded WWE 2K25 as “another solid grapple ’em up,” while notably casting a side-eye at the new mode, The Island, and its clever-but-slightly-fishy pay-to-win mechanics. A bold choice for a game that prides itself on, well, wrestling!
“With improvements across all its existing modes, WWE 2K25 surpasses its predecessor in almost every conceivable way,” said the reviewers, while secretly wishing The Island mode could be sent to a far-off wrestling ring dimension. But hey, just toss in a Cena taunt and pretend it doesn’t exist—plenty more entertaining content awaits!
So, gear up, grapplers, and prepare for the wrestling adventure of a lifetime! There are more suplexes than your doctor would recommend, so let the wrestling games commence!
