In a move that is sure to excite wrestling fans worldwide, fan-favorite CM Punk is making a triumphant return to the WWE 2K franchise after a decade-long absence. Punk will be part of the highly anticipated ECW Punk Pack, set to launch on May 15th for all platforms.
The ECW Punk Pack is a love letter to the iconic Extreme Championship Wrestling promotion, featuring a roster of legendary wrestlers who defined the hardcore wrestling era. Joining CM Punk in this electrifying DLC are Terry Funk, Sandman, and the iconic tag team duo of Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley.
Adding to the ECW nostalgia, the pack will also include an ECW Paul Heyman Manager Card and unspecified MyFaction Superstar Cards for the game’s popular MyFaction mode.
CM Punk’s return to the WWE 2K series has been a long-awaited moment for fans who have been clamoring for his inclusion since his departure from the company in 2014. Known for his no-nonsense attitude and straight-edge lifestyle, Punk’s in-ring performances and mic skills made him a fan favorite during his time in WWE.
The ECW Punk Pack is just the latest in a series of high-profile DLC releases for WWE 2K24. Last month, the game received the Post Malone and Friends pack, which featured the rapper himself alongside wrestling legends like Sensational Sherri and Honky Tonk Man. Additionally, fans can look forward to the Pat McAfee Pack, scheduled for release in July.
While the release of the ECW Punk Pack is undoubtedly the highlight, the WWE 2K24 community has also been abuzz with news surrounding popular modder WhatsTheStatus. After initially being banned for “violation of terms,” WhatsTheStatus revealed on Twitter/X that they had “come to an agreement” with 2K and the WWE team, resolving the issue amicably.
As WWE 2K24 continues to expand its roster with iconic wrestlers and personalities, fans can expect even more nostalgia-fueled content and exciting additions in the coming months. With CM Punk leading the charge, the ECW Punk Pack is poised to deliver a dose of hardcore attitude that will have players reliving the glory days of Extreme Championship Wrestling.
