WWE 2K25 Adds Surprise SmackDown Star to the Roster

As a die-hard gamer, I was totally stoked when WWE 2K25 unveiled Aleister Black, a SmackDown sensation, as the latest addition to their roster! This announcement came just as we were counting down to the Switch 2 release of this game, which dropped in March 2025.

With its biggest roster yet, WWE 2K25 showcases today’s top superstars alongside legendary figures, with a special focus on The Bloodline members. It’s safe to say that this game is a must-have for any wrestling fan!

This year, WWE 2K25 boasts an impressive roster of DLC additions, featuring wrestling stars such as Jordynne Grace and Mark Henry, along with special guests like NBA player Tyrese Haliburton and streamer KSI. Occasionally, the game also introduces new wrestlers who have been making a splash in WWE programming due to their captivating performances and charm, both within and beyond the ring.

Unexpectedly, Aleister Black is included in the lineup for WrestleMania 41, set to launch on July 23, coinciding with the release of WWE 2K25 on Switch 2. After his recent return to WWE in April following a spell at AEW, Black’s surprise attack on The Miz during SmackDown was met with thunderous applause from fans. A brief preview of WWE 2K25, shared on Twitter, highlights the intricate character model and eerie entrance routine of Black.

WWE 2K25 WrestleMania 41 Pack Inclusions

  • New playable superstar Aleister Black
  • Alternate attire for Cody Rhodes
  • Alternate attire for Jey Uso
  • WrestleMania 41 Arena

Besides Black, the WrestleMania 41 pack also offers additional costumes for Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso. According to the WWE 2K25 website, this expansion will also feature the WrestleMania 41 Arena, complete with the distinctive Las Vegas-themed decorations and structures typical of the annual WWE PPV event.

Numerous enthusiasts of the forthcoming WWE 2K25 edition have been buzzing with anticipation over the new features, particularly the option to control Black as a character. The last time Black was part of the series was in WWE 2K20, and his departure from WWE in 2021 has left fans yearning for more appearances by him as a playable wrestler.

Aleister Black is also a playable character in AEW Fight Forever under the name Malakai Black.

As a passionate WWE enthusiast, I couldn’t be more thrilled about the arrival of WWE 2K25 on the Switch 2! This means I can now take my favorite wrestling action with me wherever I go and even engage in matches with friends via crossplay. The official trailer suggests that the graphics of the Switch 2 version are remarkably similar to those of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox versions, which is simply fantastic for fans who crave high-quality gaming experience, whether at home or on-the-go.
