WWE 2K25 Introduces Surprise Weapon

In WWE 2K25, players can expect a novel twist with the inclusion of Prime Hydration bottles as weapons, further diversifying the arsenal available in the game. Prime, which has become a staple on WWE screens lately, is making its way into the virtual ring.

Recently, details have emerged from a preview build of the game, highlighting the introduction of the Prime Hydration Station alongside its distinct drink bottles as interactive weapons. This move by Visual Concepts aligns with their past efforts to expand weapon options within the game.

For those who’ve tuned into WWE recently, Logan Paul’s Prime Hydration has become hard to miss. Not only did it secure bragging rights as the first logo to grace the center of a WWE ring, but it has also made appearances on screen in varied forms. Wrestlers have utilized the Hydration Station for refreshment and entertainment, and Paul often brings a lively Prime mascot to his matches for added flair.

Game Rant’s preview of WWE 2K25 unveiled several exciting updates, including cherished matches in the Showcase Mode with narration by the charismatic Paul Heyman. One highlight that caught the attention of Metro’s report is the versatile Prime Hydration Station ringside interaction, from flinging opponents into it to turning the bottles into nifty weapons.

In WWE 2K24, water bottles made their debut as weapons, allowing creative combat scenarios such as smacking or tossing these bottles at foes. These tactics persist in WWE 2K25, and players now have even more possibilities. One of the entertaining tricks involves using an oversized Prime bottle, roughly waist-high, as a leverage point to perform an atomic drop, adding a humorous twist with the bottle’s cap playing a crucial part mid-move.

Prime weapons aren’t just the novel additions this year. Set to release on March 14, just ahead of WrestleMania 41, WWE 2K25 introduces Island Mode. In this fresh quest-oriented feature, players navigate themed arenas aiming to earn the favor of Roman Reigns, the Tribal Chief. The game also sees enhancements in areas long desired by fans: Backstage Brawl matches, with new settings like the NXT Parking Lot and WWE Archives, as well as significantly improved character models, addressing feedback from players and athletes alike, including a revamped rendition of Bayley following her discontent with her previous in-game look.
