That special time of year has come. WWE's Royal Rumble is just around the corner and that means it's time to start thinking about the wrestling organization's next 2K video game. WWE 2K24 will be arriving in March and now we know a lot more about it--including who's going to be on the covers and some very exciting new match types. We also spoke with 2K24's developers to get a better idea about the biggest changes in the game. Let's break it all down.

Three ways to play

In total, there are three different versions of the game, all with their own covers and bonuses.

The standard edition of the game, which will hit stores on Friday, March 8, features none other than "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes on its cover. "I've been known to keep a checklist of key milestones I want to experience on the path to finishing my story," Rhodes said in a press release. "As an avid gamer, being named WWE 2K cover Superstar is very, very close to the top of that list and I'm very happy to work with the teams at 2K and Visual Concepts to bring that dream to life."
