Get Extreme With WWE® 2K24 ECW Punk Pack Available Now

Hardcore first DLC pack, headlined by CM Punk, features Bubba Ray Dudley, D-Von Dudley, Sandman, Terry Funk, and an ECW Paul Heyman Manager card

Players who think they’re hardcore can prove it by taking things to the extreme with the WWE® 2K24 ECW Punk Pack*, available now. The pack is named after ECW, a brand synonymous with bringing hardcore, extreme wrestling to the forefront, as well as pack headliner “The Best in the World” CM Punk. A former two-time WWE Champion - including a 434-day reign - three-time World Heavyweight Champion, ECW Champion, Intercontinental Champion, World Tag Team Champion, and two-time Money in the Bank winner, and known for his outspoken and unpredictable nature, CM Punk is a perennial fan favorite. This marks CM Punk’s first franchise appearance since WWE 2K15, and he is a much-requested addition to WWE 2K24, the highest-rated console game in WWE 2K franchise history.**

Joining CM Punk in the ECW Punk Pack are WWE Hall of Fame tag team The Dudley Boyz, Sandman, Terry Funk, and an ECW Paul Heyman Manager MyFACTION card. Recognized as the most decorated tag team in WWE history with 18 combined World Tag Team Championship reigns across WWE, ECW, and WCW titles, Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley, the Dudley Boyz are among the toughest brawlers to ever step foot in the squared circle. Often known as the “Hardcore Icon,” The Sandman is a five-time ECW World Heavyweight Champion and former ECW World Tag Team Champion, notorious for unleashing chaos in and out of the ring with his signature kendo stick. A two-time ECW World Heavyweight Champion, ECW Television Champion, WWE World Tag Team Champion, and WWE Hall of Famer, Terry Funk wrestled across five decades, specializing in the hardcore, extreme style that gave ECW its name. Rounding out the pack is a special ECW Paul Heyman Manager MyFACTION card, celebrating the founder of ECW and one of the greatest minds in the history of professional wrestling. These Superstars bring 46 new moves and taunts into the game, which can also be used for custom Superstars in the creation suite. Each playable Superstar also comes with their own MyFACTION card. ECW Punk Pack is available for individual purchase, or as part of Season Pass, which is included in the Deluxe Edition, and Forty Years of WrestleMania Edition of WWE 2K24.

Also coming this month to WWE 2K24’s MyFACTION game mode is the new Punches and Promos MyFACTION Pack, featuring the newest gem class tier, Amethyst. The collection includes new Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens cards, plus a Persona Card of "The Final Boss" The Rock ‘24, that will be available to use in all modes, once unlocked. A Persona Card of Roman Reigns ‘24, complete with man bun hairstyle, will also be available as an earnable Live Event reward, giving players the opportunity to pair this iconic Bloodline duo in-game. To round out the new Persona Card characters, a new Mattel “Ichiban” Hulk Hogan will also be available to earn in a Live Event.

Following the ECW theme, new weapons, including a barbed wire baseball bat, light tube, and wooden door, will make their debut. The locker code ECWCHAMPS, active May 15 through May 31, 2024, will be available to all players and will award cards of former ECW Champions “The All Mighty” Bobby Lashley, Rob Van Dam, and Kane.***
