Some players of WWE 2K25 have started noticing bizarre spelling mistakes on the attire of certain wrestlers, sparking a mix of amusement and confusion among fans. While there’s a debate over whether AI upscaling is to blame, or if it’s just plain human error, the game has still managed to generate buzz. Currently, WWE 2K25 is available to folks who preordered the special Bloodline or Deadman editions, with a general release set for March 14.
Fans who preordered the special editions are already diving into the action, exploring a game that promises to be one of the most extensive entries in the series. With a selection of over 300 superstars from WWE’s storied history, players are spoiled for choice. Visual Concepts, the developers, have gone all out to recreate the likenesses, entrance music, and ring gear of the wrestlers, staying as current as possible. Moreover, the character creation suite allows players to dress their favorite superstars in new outfits, providing a closer look at these character models, free from the mayhem of a match.
This creative freedom has, however, revealed some peculiar errors. The WWEGames subreddit has become a hotbed for players sharing these odd blunders. One notable error involves CM Punk’s “Best in the World” shirt reading “Best im the World,” as flagged by whomtheheckcares. Similarly, BigWeek5182 pointed out that the logo on AJ Styles’ pants is misspelled as “Phenomenal Ons” rather than “Phenomenal One.”
These awkward misspellings have prompted debates about their origins. Some players speculate that the developers might have used AI for upscaling the gear images, leading to these errors, while others argue it could simply be rushed oversights by the development team. On Reddit, users have noted how the design of CM Punk’s shirt makes the “N” look suspiciously like an “M,” albeit more pronounced in the game than in reality. As for AJ Styles, some have highlighted additional inaccuracies in his gear’s design.
This isn’t the only instance of spelling mishaps. Players have reported similar errors in the comments from MyGM mode’s fan sections, drawing parallels with similar issues found—and corrected—in WWE 2K24. As more players gain access to the game, who knows how many more errors like these might surface?
For additional gameplay excitement, WWE 2K25 brings several new features. The game boasts an impressive, multi-generational roster, including stars like Seth Rollins, the Undertaker, and Jade Cargill. The Bloodline’s influence is celebrated in an all-new showcase narrated by Paul Heyman, a nod to their rich legacy in wrestling. Additionally, players can explore new MyRISE storylines, take their shows online with MyGM multiplayer mode, and indulge in expanded features like intergender wrestling and barricade dives.
Scheduled for full release on March 14, 2025, WWE 2K25 is rated ‘Teen’ due to its inclusion of blood, strong language, suggestive themes, alcohol use, and violence. With its promise of compelling storylines and robust features, it’s an exciting time for wrestling fans eager to jump into the ring.
