2K Sports activities has revealed the ultimate roster for WWE 2K24, and it is spectacular. Over 204 superstars are playable, together with 70 Legends who’re now not on the primary rosters and 8 managers, however there is a couple notable absences from the playable roster: former WWE chairman and CEO Vince McMahon and 7-time WWE Champion and 3-time WWE Common Champion Brock Lesnar.
Lesnar had beforehand been faraway from the quilt of the Forty Years of Wrestlemania model of the sport. That model of the quilt options a number of superstars from throughout WWE’s historical past.
Neither Lesnar nor McMahon’s removing is all that stunning. Lesnar has already been faraway from 2K’s WWE Supercard cellular sport after he was linked to allegations of sexual misconduct towards McMahon. The reveal got here after a former WWE worker filed a lawsuit towards McMahon accusing the WWE co-founder of, amongst different issues, sexual assault and intercourse trafficking. Lesnar was also implicated in the report.
Within the wake of these allegations, Lesnar was reportedly faraway from January’s males’s Royal Rumble and hasn’t been seen on WWE tv because the lawsuit was filed.
Whereas neither McMahon and Lesnar can be playable in WWE 2K24, that does not imply that they’re completely absent from the sport. A serious promoting level of WWE 2K24 is the Showcase of the Immortals, which can permit gamers to recreate 21 of the largest matches in Wrestlemania historical past. Given his look on the Forty Years of Wrestlemania version, it could make sense that not less than one of these matches was set to characteristic Lesnar. He famously ended the Undertaker’s legendary successful streak at Wrestlemania 30. It is not clear if any Showcase of the Immortals matches that includes Lesnar have been faraway from the ultimate sport, or if he’ll merely not be playable.
WWE 2K24 can be launched on Xbox Sequence X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4/5, and PC on March 8.
