WWE 2K26 Details New Island Mode Factions

by

WWE 2K26 has shared more information about its ‘Island’ game mode. This includes details on who leads the different factions, what new match types and experiences players can expect, and how much more customizable the game is. ‘The Island’ is back for only the second time in the WWE 2K series, and it’s significantly bigger and better than before.

The Island debuted in WWE 2K25 as a new way for players to compete online. It puts you on The Island of Relevancy, where you team up with or battle against WWE Superstars, complete challenges, and try to impress Roman Reigns to take his spot as Head of the Table. In WWE 2K25, you could create and customize wrestlers, improve their skills, and compete against players worldwide to earn the top score. While The Island hasn’t become as popular as modes like Universe and MyGM, the developers at Visual Concepts are committed to improving and expanding it.

  • Rhea Ripley (Order of Shadows)

Details about WWE 2K26‘s new ‘Island’ mode have emerged. After the storyline fall of Roman Reigns, three factions will battle for control: the Order of Anarchy, the Order of Shadows, and the Order of Tradition. 2K recently announced the leaders of these groups: Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, and Rhea Ripley. Each leader will command a team of wrestlers who share their vision. Rhodes’ Order of Tradition aims to honor wrestling’s history, Punk’s Order of Anarchy wants to shake things up with strong personalities and a disregard for the rules, and Ripley’s Order of Shadows will showcase the more mysterious and unconventional side of the sport.

On The Island of Relevancy, each faction will have a headquarters, and they’ll be battling not only for overall control of the island but also for a new area called The Scrapyard. This area, located in the center of the island where the final battle against Reigns happened, is now a ruined city filled with debris and lots of high-up spots – perfect for WWE’s aerial performers. It seems like a powerful secret is hidden within The Scrapyard, making every fight there crucial to the unfolding story.

WWE 2K26 Expands The Island’s New Gameplay and Progression Features

The Island game mode is getting a big update! Not only will the story and how it looks be different, but we’re adding Towers. These Towers offer a new way to play against the game’s AI, with runs that vary in length and offer random challenges, bosses, and prizes. Completing Towers earns you Order Reputation, a special currency you can use to unlock even more rewards. We’re also expanding the types of matches available in WWE 2K26 and bringing them to The Island, adding options like Triple Threat, Fatal 4-Way, and 2v2 PvP. Players can now create permanent tag teams with friends using the new MyTAG feature, and there will be even more seasonal rewards, including exclusive championship belts for the top 10 players each season.

I’m really excited about the changes they’re making to the Prestige system in WWE 2K26! It’s been completely revamped with four tiers – Recruit, Distributor, Blueprint, and Legendary – and you have to complete a special quest each time you rank up. Plus, they’re giving us way more options to create content, and that extends to our custom wrestlers on The Island! They’ll get the improved Photo Face feature, tons of new gear to unlock, and even earnable World Taunts. It’s going to be awesome!
