Select Language:

The schedule for WWE 2K24’s downloadable content (DLC) and Season Pass is complete, and it’s been an exciting year for updates. The game welcomed several new characters, including CM Punk, followed by additions like Jade Cargill, Michelle McCool, The Great Muta, and Lex Luger, among others. Keep reading for a comprehensive overview of each available pack and downloadable character in WWE 2K24’s DLC guide.

How can I get the WWE 2K24 DLC characters?

Acquiring the DLC characters is straightforward. You can opt to purchase the Season Pass for $39.99 or buy individual character packs for $9.99 each. Interestingly, purchasing individual packs tends to be a tad more economical compared to the DLC for WWE 2K23.

Alongside the DLC, the Season Pass comes with the MyRise Mega-Boost pack, which grants an extra 200 Attribute Points, and the SuperCharger feature, which unlocks all base game legends and additional arenas right away, allowing you to dive into gameplay without lengthy grind.

Who are the legends in the WWE 2K24 DLC?

This year’s DLC emphasizes classic superstars, introducing a total of 14 nostalgic figures. The initial four debuted in the ECW Punk Pack on May 15, which includes Bubba Ray Dudley, D-Von Dudley (known together as the Dudley Boyz), Terry Funk, and Sandman. The inclusion of Sandman is particularly memorable, marking his first return since WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2008.

On June 26, the Post Malone & Friends Pack added another four legends, featuring Honky Tonk Man, Sensational Sherri, and the Headbangers Mosh and Thrasher, along with the famous 1980s manager Jimmy Hart. Following that, Michelle McCool made her appearance in the Global Superstars Pack on September 18.

After a two-month pause, the last wave of legends included Diamond Dallas Page, Iron Sheik, Mr. Perfect, The Great Muta, and Lex Luger, forming the WCW Pack released on November 13. The arrival of the Japanese wrestling legend Great Muta in a WWE game is indeed a noteworthy event.

What about WWE 2K24’s Raw and Smackdown wrestlers in the DLC?

The inclusion of current WWE stars in the Season Pass has sparked mixed reactions. The highlight came on May 15, when CM Punk was added as part of the ECW Punk Pack, marking his presence in WWE 2K24 alongside his slot in the AEW Fight Forever roster.

Following Punk, a range of prominent Raw and Smackdown figures joined the game. The lineup included Jade Cargill, Nia Jax, Carlito, Kairi Sane, and Dragon Lee. However, players had to wait until the Global Superstars Pack on September 18 to access them, leading to some debate within the community regarding this decision.

Is there any NXT DLC for WWE 2K24?

NXT enthusiasts might be disappointed. After last year’s impressive roster of 12 young talents like Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams, this time only one character has been introduced: former NXT Women’s Champion Lyra Valkyria, who appears in the Global Superstars Pack released on September 20. This decision has raised eyebrows, especially considering Valkyria clinched her title in October 2023 and arguably should have been part of the main WWE 2K24 roster.

Which celebrities are included in the WWE 2K24 DLC?

There are two notable celebrity additions to the WWE 2K24 DLC roster. The first is Post Malone, who appears in the Post Malone & Friends Pack after curating the year’s soundtrack. Also included is former NFL punter and WWE fan favorite Pat McAfee, who joined the game on July 31.

The Pat McAfee pack, in addition to him, includes AJ Hawk, Boston Connor, Darius Butler, and Ty Schmitt. Despite McAfee being a fan-favorite for the last couple of years, the decision to include his friends instead of other potential NXT stars like Lash Legend or Lexis King seems like a missed opportunity.
