2K has lifted the lid on WWE 2K25 “2K Showcase: The Bloodline’s Dynasty”, a first-ever in game interactive documentary for the title.
The mode will be narrated by Paul “The Wise May” Heyman, and there’s a new trailer released to show it off, which 2K says “introduces the first-ever interactive documentary of The Bloodline and their extended family”, adding: “2K Showcase: The Bloodline’s Dynasty allows players to experience some of the biggest moments in the careers of one of the most iconic wrestling dynasties, made up of WWE Superstars and Legends including Roman Reigns, The Rock, Yokozuna, “High Chief” Peter Maivia, the Wild Samoans, and more.”
Players are invited to Relive History through iconic moments including Yokozuna vs. Hulk Hogan at King of the Ring ‘93, and Rocky Maivia vs. Hunter Hearst Helmsley at RAW in ‘97. Heyman continues by introducing a twist: Players will have the chance to Change History and bring more glory to The Bloodline, avenging key losses such as Rikishi vs. “Stone Cold” Steve Austin at No Mercy 2000, and the fateful Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins title match at Royal Rumble 2022. The trailer concludes by offering a glimpse at dream matches introduced in this year’s 2K Showcase, giving players the opportunity to Create History and experience some of the greatest fantasy matches that never were.
After what 2K says is community demand, the Showcase cut-scenes will now be in-game cinematics, rather than the actual historical live-action footage. The publisher has also sent over a list of the matches in 2K Showcase: The Bloodline’s Dynasty, as follows:
