The Undertaker may have ridden off into the sunset at WrestleMania 36, but the Deadman is back to dominate gaming consoles this March. WWE has unveiled the iconic Phenom as the cover star of the special Deadman Edition of WWE 2K25. With his piercing eyes, signature hat, and foggy darkness, the official cover art was shared across social media, sending chills down fans’ spines and sparking speculation about what this version of the game will include.
WWE’s Teaser: The Deadman’s Darkness Returns
WWE captioned the reveal with an appropriately cryptic statement:
“The Deadman Rises… Again. No one escapes the darkness when The Undertaker arrives. Rest in peace… or don’t. #WWE2K25”
While fans know the Deadman Edition will honor The Undertaker’s legendary legacy, WWE has kept the details eerily quiet. What’s in the box? A new game mode? Exclusive playable versions of The Undertaker? Perhaps an in-game urn for extra power-ups? Rest assured, we’ll learn more soon—assuming the darkness doesn’t swallow us whole first.
Roman Reigns Teases Standard Edition Cover Star Status
Meanwhile, the cover star for the standard edition of WWE 2K25 is still under wraps, but there’s a strong hint it’s none other than the Tribal Chief himself, Roman Reigns. During the premiere of WWE Raw on Netflix, Roman was seen telling Paul Heyman he wanted to be “acknowledged” on January 27. He then dramatically exited through a door bearing the WWE 2K25 logo. Subtle? Not exactly. Effective? Absolutely.
The Deadman’s Long-Standing Gaming Legacy
This isn’t the first time The Undertaker has received top billing in a WWE video game. WWE 2K14 offered the Phenom Edition, complete with The Streak mode, allowing players to either defend or end his legendary WrestleMania streak. Over the years, multiple versions of The Undertaker—from his American Badass phase to the gothic Ministry of Darkness persona—have been playable across the series. This year’s Deadman Edition is poised to continue that tradition, ensuring his legacy lives on for a new generation of gamers.
All Will Be Revealed Soon
Fans won’t have to wait long for answers. WWE has promised to drop major details about WWE 2K25 on January 28, including the release date, roster, game modes, and pre-order bonuses. With The Undertaker headlining the Deadman Edition and Roman Reigns likely gracing the standard version, this year’s game promises to be one for the ages—or the afterlife.
