WWE 2K23 introduces an exciting lineup of new features and improvements, including the highly anticipated addition of WarGames. Fans have been clamoring for this mode, which offers intense, high-octane action in both single-player and multiplayer formats. The mode takes place in two side-by-side rings, enclosed within a double-steel cage, and allows for heart-pounding 3v3 and 4v4 battles.

The game will feature a 2K Showcase mode titled “You Can’t Beat Me” which will be focused on John Cena’s career in WWE. In this mode, players will get the opportunity to play as some of Cena’s toughest opponents and attempt to defeat the legendary wrestler. The mode will cover Cena’s 20-year career and will be narrated by Cena himself.
