Setting specific attires for during promos was a much needed feature!! Finally ❤
I could not play the old games because this feature was not in defenitely needed
Suit Cody about to cry about his dad every week lfg
It was in old video games tho
@willg1088not for specific individual shows.
@mogikoliusit was in the old games lol. Ppl praising the bare minimum as usual
Having set attires for certain PLEs and promos is actually a nice touch along with promos actually leading to more than just a brawl or match
8 fucking years i want to bring back a Finn Balor who can came to PLE's in Demon Finn Balor attire and persona I hope this will be possible 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️
@P3ndaAd3m so real! Finn's my all-time favorite, he NEEDS this feature
@emozionisurotaia4069He got that feature coded in his base character in 2k18 ^^ in PPV he came to the ring as Demon Finn Balor that was amazing 🥹
@P3ndaAd3mhonestly it’s possible but I doubt it’ll be in there this year tbh
PPV not PLE clown 🙄
it only took 20 something years but you can finally have more than 3 people come out during an entrance so bravo lmao
Your joking right, they have been doing 4 man entrances since 2k17 or 18
@mannymoney1443 except you had to use tricks to use certain ones. That limitation is now finally gone.
Is bro stupid?
😂😂😂I'm not that's what I'm saying last Gen was definitely holding us back but I believe this could've been done along time ago
HEY 2K CAN WE GET A UPDATED HELL IN A CELL MATCH I'M TIRED OF NOT BEING ABLE TO FIGHT AND MOVE AROUND THANKS
And if you're champ you come out holding your title for the promo. They're going all out
The bare minimum tbh
😂😂😂😂
Gang literally what?? That’s the BARE MINIMUM.
@EZIV03 Almost all of these features should've been added years ago lol. I'm happy they're finally here but damn
@EZIV03they should’ve been added that feature
they need to add at the start of the show, there’s fireworks and michael cole says ladies and gentlemen welcome to whatever show, that feature used to be in wwe 2k19, wwe 2k22
stfu and nus be happy
I fear we might get cutscenes of superstars walking into the building from the parking lot when it comes to the intro. I hope I'm wrong
@anthonyevadia I prefer the old intro, but that would be cool too honestly.
and custom image backgrounds for matchup screens in create a show
THANK YOU FINALLY SOMEONE MENTIONS THAT
Still need backstage promos and create a story but this was honestly great
Locker rooms too
Both right 👍
God damn it, I just know that’s gna be implemented in 2K27
All I need is a real, hands-off (no AI control) God Mode sandbox, with a big, no limits, blank storyboard, with an option for custom text boxes on promos. If I want the AI to come up with something, I'll throw them a few wrestlers and it can look up their bios, rivalries, power rankings, and ask me how intense and high on the card it should go, and it will put together a month of TV with a pay-off at the next PLE. Otherwise, for all the storylines I really care about, just let me be Vince McMahon control freak.
backstage promos are probably coming back next year if I had to guess this is their first year without last gen as well
MITB not belong locked to just one title anymore feels like a big deal!
I agree I hated switching my Mitb winner to another brand when I wanted them to go for another title
Faction entrances finally
1:16 So many Wrestlemania arenas in WWE 2K26.....COOL
They are charging Indian 11k for this I mean you can buy something else you can buy 2k25 instead isn't it?
@Vanisho-z yes i will pay 11k for WWE 2K26.....doesn't matter it is expensive or not.....The game looks insane
@rahulsinha7653good for you
@Vanisho-znot your money not your problem
@Desto_OPI was just suggesting I'm sorry if I hurt y'all
Yes!!! We finally get updates on Universe Mode! It's my absolute favorite part of the game!!!
Don’t give 2K any credit. They only made 2 decent updates to it (promos and draft) and that’s it. The fans of this game really are easily content with the bare minimum, huh?
I’m an adult it’s me Maximilian Zeidler it’s Friday February 20 2026 I’m at Minneapolis Minnesota in my home and my cat is in my kitchen.
I'm liking the WWE 2K26 new so far
Then you'll cry and complain after 1 month of release lmaooo
@hotcoldman77EXXXXXACTLY.
@hotcoldman77shut up. U don’t know this man. How u just gone assume some shit? Shut up
@2001Kiddexactly bro
It's what the community does, it what you all do, praise a game before release only to rub it in the mud days or weeks after😅
It's been 84 years...
Better late than never
Finally they brought back editing your whole entire body🔥🔥
I'm officially excited for the game.
explain the bonus setting in the universe
FINALLY TEAM AND STABLE ADVANDCED CREATION! YOU SOLD ME THE GAME
But I do wonder how many different variations are there to choose from? Hoping at least 10 we can mix and match so every stable doesn't feel the same.
@MoviePalaceOfBloodi think they should have about 10 from past games, plus new ones: Wyatt Family, Hurt Business, Final Testament, Imperium, Sanity, Judgment Day, Bloodline, MFT, American Made. Those come to my mind right now, but there are more for sure
Finally advanced stable entrances😭
Yeah it's cool but why we not getting advanced championship entrances first. 2K can do it, it's easy but it seems like they don't want to.
Looks really good but just don't trust it to work. Been burned one too many times by Universe mode 😞
Good you're learning from 2K's Jedi Mind Tricks lol 🤣😅
Same😂
Only missing backstages promo
They actually said smth about that
@AFfilms08where? Because I only see something about promo after the match but nothing in backstages
@pagjugaming not in the video in an interview if I’m not mistaken
@pagjugaming Theres a full detailed report on all of this. Backstage promos are a thing
@AFfilms08yes the ITW Yesterday with de developer but I'm not sure backstages was mentionned. The person asked if we'll have backstages promo but the answer not mentionned it clearly
Yo ECW Hardcore Heaven 1994 Wonder where we will unlock that from
Punk showcase
Steve Corino
Since we see that I think we definitely gonna have Mick Foley either in roster or dlc pack because of that arena and the match he had with Terry funk in there when he was Cactus Jack in ECW 👀 👀 if you remember
Universe mode finally good😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥
By the looks of it! I'm excited
I love the matchmaking sliders feature & the fact we can set up multiple different attires for wrestlers for different shows!! 🔥
Yeah they cooked
Only took them about 15 years😂
@Whodatwhodatwhodatwhodatyea but atleast they confirmed its here to stay and more work will be put into it 😭😭
3:21 finally cause my universe really revolves around stable wars
Thank you so much
The video was so good that I failed to realize how much they improved Bayley’s model
The Breakout Universe is going to look BETTER THAN EVER! 💪
🤼
I WAS ALIVE FOR THE ADVANCED TEAM ENTRANCES!
We can finally customize four and five person entrances, let's go!!!
What exactly does this mean & look like❓lol im a bit slow rn if yall can explain 🙏🏾
@Otelikakit means you can customize the entrance of four or more people in a stable, instead of them just using the hurt business entrance
@Ote@OtelikakIt basically works just like the standard custom entrance. You pick the intro, stage, ramp, ring-in, and ring motions, add pyro, change lightings, etc.
Before this, every custom 4 man team came out to the same entrance, and you were not able to edit any of the has game 4 man teams.
@Stumme-40203Sounds dope⭐️
Nice to have body morphing again!!!
I love how the menu screen and renders look this year!
it still looks the same as wwe2k25
@aelanddagoatthe menu doesn’t now yes it’s the same format but not the same menu
It's looks awful
@aelanddagoatno it doesn’t
@RicoRamal yes it does it's still the same as Last year there's no character in these modern Menu IU's anymore it's literally copy and paste It's Lazy. I remember In the old SD vs RAW Games you had different UI Looks even in the smackdown games and day of Reckoning games. It's the same shit every year.
This is what universe mode needed, and 200 created wrestlers slots...an extra hundred. So glad they gave us more memory slots in 2k26. This is pretty much the only mode I play. They also put drafts in this, so that is going to be great, and more titles on each brand...this is going to make Universe Mode so much better. And the fact that you can design it all in the wizard before you even start is even better.
Every update gets better and better! Can't wait to play it!
0:17 i-is that micheal cole or am i imagining things
michael cole isn't a black man as far as I'm aware
@LenFreak well he looked white to me there i might be stupid
It’s the anonymous GM
No idiot
@Buzz_of_shadowswhite washing in the comments is crazy
Advanced custom entrance for tag teams is something I've been waiting on
Same 💯
Omg this game is gonna be the best yet im so ready 😍
2:26 locker codes back!!!
😂😂😂 when weren’t they there?
@LilUltraKataruwith the little amount we get you'd think they didn't have them at all
What are locker codes?
@theartyonko You can barely see anything on the right
They are still in the game just in my faction
2K had Bailey take a shot at the Community Creators 😂
Damn Roxane is missing on judgement day group
You know you could put Roxanne in the judgement day just by adding her into the group going to edit team
@MichaelMilord-k3ror we only gonna get five people
This has the potential of being the best Universe mode to date. My big takeaway is the stable entrances and the advanced timeline. Thank finally🎉
Okay wait the attire settings for promo or big matches like mania is such a quality of life detail love that
They should correct the PNG image of the Undisputed WWE Championship...
This game might be generational!!
I'm from the future, I'm here to warn you it's not
New Creation Suite Men and Women Superstars
Arena 🏟️ Stages Finisher Moves Championship Video Entrance Victory & Storyline
Haile Jones Amy Grimm Olivia Newton Danielle Munson Gloria Perez & Nick Evan’s
Jc and talla tonga confirmed
"SAME OLD SH*T!"
FINALLY ADVENCE TAG ENTRANCES 😭
Absolutely no excuse to not have backstage promo/interactions at this point. We had them in Smackdown 2 ffs
They didn't develop smackdown 2. That's a Yukes game which used hand crafted animations.
Same as match intros bro they were always in and they removed like 2k20 , they took them out because some people like to skip them , so what ? Some people want to watch them aswell. Just let people skip if they dont want it.
I'm definitely going to be playing the all the modes in the game except for myfaction .👍🏾
My faction is fun. Give it a chance
@metrowater2819I'm not into myfaction cause it's too much grinding and waste of time to get wrestlers with persona models but the season pass stuff is only main thing I will be doing to get all of the content stuff I wanted instead of myfaction.
2k please add an feature of 5 V 5 in the wargame
They need to go more in the details about the creation section. But overall I like what they are doing.
yeah from the two to three shots I saw from create an arena, it looks like nothing much has changed. I wanna see a ton of new props and also be able to change the size of these props and also use as many props as I like not getting limited by a stupid point system.
Idc what anyone says. This is the most improvement that we’ve gotten in YEARS! The future is bright
Hands down the best 2K since ‘19🙏🏾
Seriously this time i am really exited about wwe game in many years...they literally bring back all those good features that they removed before...the promo where you can challenge opponent with any match type you want impressed me
Universe Mode is gonna be crazy this year 🎉🎉🎉
Please update trick Williams he’s a big star big star
Community creations are gonna be sick with in total of 560 in total on whatever ideas we have in mind to create for the community wow 🤩
Ok 2k26. You had my curiosity...now you have my attention! 😮
Finally we get 4/5 person entrance motions.
0:59 Nikki Bella looks beautiful in wwe 2k26
Still no custom music for entrance
0:38 and this is what I feared
It's just like gm mode
Completely different than myGms version btw😭 what are you talkinAbt
I love the matchmaking sliders feature & the fact we can set up multiple different attires for wrestlers for different shows!! 🔥
Bayley did a great job with the voice over!
I've been becoming a huge fan of hers for the last couple of years so hearing her doing this was an awesome surprise!
She’s a gosh darn role model!
yeah i dont even like these videos just give me the update ill wait till game release,
but i liked the video, amazing voice over i havent heard anything like this before in my life tbh
I mean they're paying her decent money 😂
I love that we are getting 4-5 faction entrances now makes me hopeful that someday in the future we can get more then that
Universe mode LFG. this is gonna be a good year for e-feds
2k finally listened for one part of the game 😭😭 i’m starting to have high hopes about this game
Hands down the best 2K since ‘19
3:18 Baron Corbin in WWE 2K26?
Was about to say the same gives me hope that Ciampa, Indo Kross, Scarlett etc still made it in too!!
@KyleShxneCiampa should definitely make it
how is he In the game when he was fired OVER a year ago?!!!?!
@DarkwingProdigy would be crazy, unless the text is just a direct copy of 2k25 but it would be odd of them to use it promoting 2k26
@DarkwingProdigythey probably forgot to change the text, the same thing happened with wwe2k25 when they had Robert roode’s lights and barricade trons names and Beth phoenix’s entrance/victory motion names, of course those have long been fixed to have generic names, so maybe it’s something they forgot to change and will be fixed either before the game fixes or later on with newer updates
Looks 😎 Awesome! WWE 2K will be 🔥
Hands down the best 2K since ‘19
That’s what I said but kinda not really cause 2K 22 was low-key a good game. It was great if anything it’s been the best since 2K 19 and 2K 22. This is for sure. Gonna be the greatest 2K already pre-ordered the Monday night war edition.😂💪💯
I hear that every year
I love this all of it
Wait, will ECW be a show option now? thatd be sick, wont have to set it up completley again
I really love Bayley's laugh
The promo and wrestlemania attires in universe mode is amazing.
It’s going to make playing as Finn Balor and the demon a lot of fun
@joeymax518the other cool thing is that you can make a masked man and then have him be revealed at wrestlemania. As part of his wrestlemania attire or part of a ple attire
@gameavethat’s an awesome idea!
Can’t wait for the myrise reports
2:54 LA Knight & Tyler Bate...YEAH!(i guess😅)
Hopefully means New Catch Republic is still a team and they don't seem to have Los Americanos
@Damiendarrell666Nah 400 characters and 4 of them are gonna be Bate, Dunne, Bravo, and Rayo😭😭
Can’t wait for the mygm ringside report
I can't wait to play the draft!
200 caw I’m sold
Same🙏🏾
Amazing! Love the new things/improvements for Universe Mode. And talking about Bayley. She need the hugger 2015-2016 persona and the 2019-2020 heel persona in the game. It would be great!
I hope we get advanced options for title entrances too
Ahh still no custom Music using Spotify 🌹😞😞
Best thing you can do is get the pc version and mod in any music you want
finally now I have something to look forward to after school 🙏
They still haven’t updated Bayley’s body shape.
Nope. Always lacking attention to detail.
Exactly
Will the start of the show have actual intros and opening pyro with introductions from the announce team? Thats what universe mode is lacking
I think they said they added it don’t quote me but I think they did
I’ve been waiting for options like this for a long time ❤
1:31 . Liv&Dom nose rub is perfect 😂👍
Love how indepth the Universe mode is this year. Cannot wait for this.
We got 99 Smackdown ?? Let’s go!!
Unfortunately, there is no Ovaltron arena - if that’s what you mean.
@zxzeruI’m thinking it might get revealed soon
Advanced entrance creation for 4 and 5 person stables is pretty sweet.
Wish the body morphing was with sliders like in 2k14
actually impressive. well done, guys.
I am so damn excited
It’s great seeing Universe Mode get some more love!
Bayley's narration was great! She deserves more time in the spotlight. I am looking forward to the Universe and creation updates. 17 days to go!
Said the same thing !
W FREAKING W GAME THIS YEAR THIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME
Glossing over CAA worries me
THIS ☝️
Judging by what little thy showed, it looks virtually the same… which is basically unimproved for about 10 years now.
GOOD!!!! I'm glad somebody says something about this, CAA really needs an overhaul.....badly.
2K..................If you guys can do Advanced Tag Team Entrances now, what's taking you guys so long to do Advanced Championship Entrances............
1:33 JC, Mateo, and Tala Tonga in the game with solo, and Tama tonga and Tonga loa
0:16 same Bayley Render for the millionth time
Bruh 💔🥀
wowwwwww the fact we could also reset historical stats tooo omgggg
long overdue.
I LOVE that we're now able to cut out the match-up screens!! But there's still not enough "elements" for "transitions" and "replays"!! We desperately need some new ones! as just having an original "blue brand" is difficult..
I wouldn’t mind having the retro style matchup screens where there is pre-match commentary about who is about to fight next
Proper 4 and 5 team entrances finally 🙌🏾 been asking that for years
