The road to the virtual ring just got a lot more exciting for gamers and wrestling fans alike. WWE and 2K Games have officially announced a brand new variant for the upcoming WWE 2K26 video game. Dubbed the “King of Kings Edition,” this prestigious version of the annual franchise will feature none other than the Chief Content Officer and Hall of Famer, Triple H, gracing the cover.
The announcement confirms that the company is leaning heavily into the legacy of “The Game” for this year’s installment. Triple H, a 14-time World Champion and the driving force behind the company’s current creative direction, is a fitting choice for a “King of Kings” themed edition. While specific details on exclusive in-game content for this edition have yet to be fully detailed, the branding suggests a focus on Triple H’s storied career, potentially offering players unique attires, arenas, or playable versions of his most iconic rivals from the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression eras.
To celebrate the reveal, 2K released a special announcement trailer that has already begun circulating on social media. While the focus is on Triple H, the trailer features a comedic performance from “The Wiseman” Paul Heyman. In the clip, the legendary manager and advocate is seen pitching his own ideas for the game’s cover, unsurprisingly suggesting himself as the face of the franchise. The lighthearted marketing campaign highlights the personality-driven approach 2K has adopted in recent years, utilizing the roster’s charisma to drive pre-order hype.
Fans eager to secure their copy won’t have to wait long. The announcement confirmed that pre-orders for WWE 2K26, including the King of Kings Edition, will officially begin on January 30th. Keeping with the franchise’s traditional release schedule, the game is slated to launch in March, ensuring it arrives just in time to capitalize on the fever pitch surrounding WrestleMania season. With another variant now confirmed, anticipation is building to see what gameplay innovations and roster additions will be unveiled as the release date draws closer.
