It’s that time of year again for WWE fans, as the latest annual edition of the WWE 2K series is here.
WWE 2K26 [13 articles]” href=”https://www.videogameschronicle.com/games/wwe-2k26/”>WWE 2K26 is out on March 13, but players who buy its King of Kings Edition, Attitude Era Edition or Monday Night War Edition can start playing from March 6.
You can read our review for our full thoughts on the game itself, but one of the other things returning players often want to know is whether their favourite superstar has been updated for this year’s game.
While most of the legends in the game generally have the same untouched appearance every year, many of the current roster have either had an outfit update or – in a handful of situations – even an improved face.
We’ve put together this huge gallery to show you all the notable changes that have been made between WWE 2K25 [37 articles]” href=”https://www.videogameschronicle.com/games/wwe-2k25/”>WWE 2K25 and 2K Games [667 articles]” href=”https://www.videogameschronicle.com/companies/take-two-interactive/2k-games/”>2K26. Some of them have new faces, but most of them have the same face but a new outfit or hairstyle.
To be clear, this is only the superstars who have been updated. If your favourite superstar isn’t in this gallery, it’s either because they look exactly the same as they did in 2K25, or they’re new for 2K26 and weren’t in the last game (such as Rusev or Joe Hendry).
On the left of each comparison image, you’ll see how each superstar looked in WWE 2K25, and on the right you can see how they now look in WWE 2K26.
Each wrestler in the game has an entrance attire and an in-ring attire. For the most part we’ve gone with the entrance attire, because this makes it easier to see if there’s been an outfit change.
The only time we haven’t used entrance attires, of course, is when it covers a wrestler’s face. For example, Asuka wears a massive mask during her entrance, so we’ve gone for her in-ring appearance to let you easier compare her face (or, more specifically, her facepaint) between versions.
With all that in mind, here’s a massive look at which WWE 2K26 superstars have entirely new faces, which ones have new outfits, and which ones look exactly the same as last year (and therefore aren’t in the list).
