WWE2k26, Monday Night Wars

One day after WWE’s Friday Night SmackDown, 2K Sports announced there would be an Attitude Era edition of this year’s video game. They strike again. The popular wrestling gaming franchise decided to hit fans back-to-back. On Saturday Night’s Main Event, the news dropped that there would also be a Monday Night Wars edition of the game. The trailer dropped during the retro event, giving us even more nostalgic feels.

  • Stone Cold
  • The Rock
  • Chyna
  • Triple H
  • Undertaker
  • Kurt Angle
  • Hollywood Hulk Hogan
  • Scott Hall
  • Kevin Nash
  • Goldberg
  • Booker T
  • Eric Bischoff

Preorder starts January 30th.

Final Thoughts

I love the edition of the Monday Night Wars. It brings me back to my childhood, where I fell in love with wrestling. Unfortunately, Sting, Luger, and DDP aren’t listed, but maybe a DLC down the road. I haven’t had this game in a couple of years; this may be the time to get it.
