Wrestling fans diving into WWE 2K25 have been taken aback by some surprising blunders. The game, which is already being enjoyed by those who pre-ordered the special Bloodline or Deadman editions, will become widely available on March 14. With over 300 superstars from various eras of WWE, the game promises an immersive experience. However, players have raised eyebrows over peculiar spelling errors on the gear of some wrestlers, captured humorously in player communities.
Visual Concepts, the developer behind WWE 2K25, has meticulously crafted models to bring television’s wrestling personas to life. The game even features a detailed character creation suite, allowing players to outfit superstars with new looks, whether inspired by real-life changes or purely imaginative flair. This customization mode grants fans an intimate view of their favorites, untouched by the fast pace of the ring.
Among the notable slip-ups, players have pointed out, is an error on CM Punk’s “Best in the World” shirt, where it mistakenly displays “Best im the World.” Another casualty of these wardrobe mishaps is AJ Styles, whose pants incorrectly declare “Phenomenal Ons” instead of “Phenomenal One.” These amusing errors have been shared on the WWEGames subreddit, much to the community’s mild amusement and bemusement.
Some speculate these inaccuracies might stem from the game’s developers possibly using AI to enhance images rather than solely human oversight. Discussing the matter, users on Reddit highlighted how stylization in the design has muddied the clarity of letters, like the “N” on CM Punk’s shirt resembling an “M.” AJ Styles’s gear has similarly suffered from design inconsistencies noted by eagle-eyed players.
Fans also noted past and present spelling errors not only on gear but in the MyGM mode, where fans’ comments displayed similar issues in WWE 2K24, many now promptly rectified in the latest installment. It leaves room to wonder if more gaffes will emerge with the full launch of the game.
Aside from these minor hiccups, WWE 2K25 seems packed with excitement. It’s celebrating iconic wrestling moments through The Bloodline’s Dynasty Showcase, hosted by Paul Heyman. The game boasts an expansive roster, drawing from today’s stars and legends like Seth Rollins, Undertaker, and CM Punk. Players are eagerly anticipating delving into this universe with features like intergender wrestling and a robust MyGM mode offering online multiplayer experiences. Whether correcting typos or diving deep into rich storylines and striking matches, fans have plenty to look forward to come March 14.
