WWE 2K26 The Island Ringside Report, Narrated by Cody Rhodes, Showcases New Storyline, Scrapyard Environment, Customization Options, Co-op & Multiplayer Features, and More

Today, 2K released the latest Ringside Report, narrated by WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes, detailing updates coming to The Island in WWE 2K26.

In The Island’s new storyline, Roman Reigns is no longer the top dog. Three Orders, each with a distinct identity and methodology, are now vying for control: The Order of Tradition, led by Rhodes himself, The Order of Shadows led by Rhea Ripley, and the Order of Anarchy led by WWE 2K26 Standard Edition cover Superstar CM Punk. Players must choose which Order to join, which will influence their viewpoint as the story unfolds.

A new brawl environment, The Scrapyard, is available not only as a centerpiece of The Island, but also selectable for Exhibition matches. The Scrapyard offers interactive environmental elements, including a launch pad, shopping cart and steel beam, and increased verticality, allowing combatants to take their battles to new heights.

New customization options for the MySUPERSTAR builder include the Photo Face feature and World Taunts, which allow players to better express themselves in The Island’s social setting, while the new Prestige System rewards players’ advancement with Prestige Quests, higher OVR levels, and more power, badges, and rewards.

The new Towers repeatable PVE experience offers players the opportunity to choose from small, medium or large tower runs to earn Order Reputation and rewards. Mega-Challenge Tower Events tied to each season’s theme will offer rare rewards for players able to complete them.

Additional updates include the new co-op MyTAG multiplayer feature, allowing two players to form a team and participate in cooperative PvP matches, Seasonal Ranked Play which rewards the top 10 players on weekly leaderboard with a Championship belt, and new match types including Triple Threat, Fatal 4-Way and 2v2 PvP.

Four editions of WWE 2K26 are available: Standard Edition, King of Kings Edition, Attitude Era Edition, and Monday Night War Edition. The Show Never Stops!
