It’s impossible to think about wrestling without thinking about John Cena, so it makes total sense that WWE 2K25 is marking his retirement later this year with a special tribute expansion pack, available today. As part of IGN Fall Fan Fest 2025, we got a look at some new gameplay featuring the fan favorite.
The WWE 2K25 Farewell Tour Edition and Farewell Tour Edition Pack has new playable wrestlers and cosmetic items as part of its new content.
- WrestleMania 41 John Cena
- Dr. of Thuganomics John Cena
- Brock Lesnar
- Ron Cena
Cena made his video game debut in 2003 with WWE WrestleMania XIX, and since then has made appearances in a further 38 of them both in WWE titles and games like Fortnite, as Peacemaker.
Despite his retirement plans, Cena has said he intends to work with his “WWE family in some capacity for an extended time to come.”
“I’ve always said to the audience that the WWE is my home and I love it,” Cena added. “Just because I physically feel I am at my end, it doesn’t mean I need to distance myself from something I love.”
