It's official, WWE 2K is back with its annual cycle and March is its new release window.

It's safe to say that 2K Sports and Visual Concepts' WWE 2K hiatus was short-lived. After skipping a year to go back to the drawing board following Yuke's departure, Visual Concepts returned with a bang thanks to WWE 2K22. A year later, WWE 2K23 will try and do the same.

WWE 2K23 arrives for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, and the PC, on March 17. But, if you buy the more expensive versions of the game, you'll get access as early as March 14.

As per earlier leaks, WWE 2K23 will feature John Cena and a new WarGames event. 2K explains that the game's Showcase mode will cover John Cena's 20-year WWE career with Cena narrating it himself. Meanwhile, the new WarGames mode will offer unique 3v3 and 4v4 matches with two rings enclosed in a steel cage beside each other. Finally, WWE 2K23 will feature MyFaction and an improved MyGM mode with more GMs as well as show options.

If you're interested in buying WWE 2K23, you can already pre-order starting today.
