The world of wrestling, or rather its virtual counterpart, is abuzz with anticipation as something huge about WWE 2K25 for the Nintendo Switch 2 is about to be announced. Back in the early part of the year, publisher 2K had already stated, in a April Nintendo Switch 2 Direct live stream, that its new version of wrestling simulation would indeed appear on Nintendo’s next-generation console. Recent rumors point to some news, perhaps even a release date, being revealed, with an interesting date of July 1, 2025, now in the limelight.
The most recent tease did not arrive in the form of typical press releases, but via cryptic social media tweet off the WWE Games Twitter handle, and its constant subject, the infamous group, The Judgment Day. The trailer featured faction members Raquel Rodriguez, JD McDonagh, and Finn Balor, all of whom ominously vowed to bring their brand of “punishment” to “every corner of the globe.”
The segment itself ended with text unveiling the foregoing July 1 date, and the telltale click noise of the Nintendo Switch. Svb hunter viewers also picked up on JD McDonagh appearing to have a Nintendo Switch 2 game case in hand while in the promo clip, adding fuel to the fire.
This release represents a significant return to Nintendo platforms for the WWE 2K franchise. The final game in the series released on a Nintendo console was WWE 2K18, therefore WWE 2K25 would be a welcome re-emergence for those who appreciate the distinctive portability and gaming experience of Nintendo’s hardware. Although the exact meaning of the phrase on July 1—whether that be the release of the port or simply confirmation of the official release date—still pending final determination, the general rumor among both game fans and wrestling fans is present.
