Summary
- WWE 2K25 won’t include new star Penta on its roster.
- It’s possible Penta will be added as DLC, but that has not been confirmed.
- Chances are Penta’s WWE 2K debut will happen with next year’s 2K26.
Unfortunately for WWE fans, the upcoming WWE 2K25 will not feature new star Penta on its roster of playable wrestlers. WWE 2K25 is set to feature a massive roster of wrestlers, with stars from the past and present readily available to choose from once the game launches on March 14.
The WWE 2K25 roster reveal informed that the upcoming game will have most of the biggest stars from modern-day WWE along with legends from the past and even some stars that are no longer with the company. Indeed, WWE 2K25 features multiple cut wrestlers in what may be their last WWE video game appearance. This is because the WWE 2K25 roster was finalized before these stars were let go from the company. Likewise, the date when the roster was finalized is also likely why Penta is not featured in the game.

WWE 2K25 is Breaking a 14-Year Streak
The upcoming WWE 2K25 is breaking a streak that started all the way back in 2011 with the release of WWE ’12.
The WWE 2K25 roster will not feature Penta, who made his WWE debut this past January. Penta has made a big splash in WWE since winning his first match on Raw against Chad Gable. He lasted a long time in this year’s Royal Rumble match and has continued to pick up victories on WWE Raw and the company’s other programming. Penta has enjoyed loud reactions from crowds, and it’s clear that he has a very bright future in the WWE. But since he just made his WWE debut in January, he won’t be featured in WWE 2K25 – not at launch, at least.
As some may recall, CM Punk made his WWE return in November 2023, which was still too late for him to be a part of the WWE 2K24 roster when that game launched four months later. However, Punk was added to the WWE 2K24 roster through DLC. It’s entirely possible that the same will happen with Penta, though that remains to be seen. While Penta has been incredibly popular since making his WWE debut, he doesn’t have the same level of starpower as CM Punk, and so there may not be quite as much of a rush to get him playable in the video games.

Assuming Penta is still with WWE by the time WWE 2K26 comes out next year, he is almost guaranteed to be a part of that game’s base roster. There’s still some hope that WWE 2K25 DLC plans include Pneta, but nothing to that effect has been announced and fans should keep their expectations in check.
