All WWE 2K24 game modes

WWE 2K24 will feature the traditional game modes of the WWE 2K franchise, as well as some new and eye-catching match types that could become permanent additions. Below is a list of all the modes, as well as details on them.

• MyRise
• MyFaction
• 2K Showcase of the Immortals
• MyGM
• Universe
• All-new match types

MyRise

The traditional career mode makes a return to the franchise. WWE 2K24 presents the opportunity to create your own wrestler to compete in men’s (Undisputed) or women’s (Unleashed) wrestling. The goal is the same as every year: to turn that new WWE Recruit into the greatest wrestler of all time.

Both MyRise opportunities will feature two new storylines:

• Undisputed: In the men’s career mode, players have the opportunity to enter the WWE Universal Championship bracket. Your first objective? Snatch the belt from Roman Reigns, become the WWE Universal Champion, and defend the title for as long as possible.
• Unleashed: In the women’s career mode, players will be able to play as both the manager and wrestler of a highly popular independent wrestling brand debuting in the WWE. This setting leads to a new question: Can they increase the popularity of their brand and in turn become the top winner in the WWE?

MyRise also has tons of unlockables in Arena, MyFaction Cars, and Championship Belts.

MyFaction

The team-building mode returns in WWE 2K24 with the opportunity to add new WWE Superstars and Legends to your team. In this mode, you can form a four-wrestler team and compete in different game modes such as quick play, ranked online, and more.

Other modes include Faction Wars, Weekly Towers, and Proving Ground, with rewards that will help improve your MyFaction squad. In Faction Wars, you’ll have to fight through five different teams to reach the final boss fight, all in a single run. Meanwhile, Weekly Towers and Proving Ground are both mostly the same, there are multiple matches and chapters, and you’ll unlock them as you progress and complete the previous ones. 

2K Showcase of the Immortals

In celebration of the 40 years of WrestleMania, 2K Games added this game mode that allows you to recreate, as well as rewrite, the most iconic matches in the history of the wrestling tournament that captivates the world. Each match also has its own set of objectives.
