This edition's cover is adorned with a mix of legendary and current WWE Superstars, along with the renowned WrestleMania sign. Visual Concepts, the game's developer, has included a WrestleMania mode in WWE 2K24, allowing players to relive pivotal WrestleMania moments. The game introduces four new match types, including Ambulance and Special Guest Referee matches, two new MyRISE journeys, and a lineup of over 200 WWE Superstars and Legends.

The game also features enhancements such as the ability to adjust the camera during live gameplay, and upgrades to the Ramp and Dive cameras.

Cody Rhodes expressed his enthusiasm about being the cover Superstar: “I’ve been known to keep a checklist of key milestones I want to experience on the path to finishing my story. As an avid gamer, being named WWE 2K cover Superstar is very, very close to the top of that list and I’m very happy to work with the teams at 2K and Visual Concepts to bring that dream to life.”
