The upcoming wrestling release will see the return of a number of popular match types

WWE 2K24 is the next title in gaming's most popular wrestling series, and it's only a few months away from release.

We know that Cody Rhodes will be the cover star of the Standard Edition, and the full game will be released soon.

Aside from the revealed cover star and release date, several fan-favorite match types will return.

Some have been absent from the series for over a decade and fans are thrilled to see their return.

Here are all four recurring match types:

Special guest referee matches allow the player to appoint a famous wrestler to referee a match.

You can control the referee during the match, counting pins, calling disqualifications and, if you wish, pushing the match in one wrestler's favor.

Ambulance and coffin matches are similar in style. Both matches only end when the other wrestler is placed in the title object.

Gauntlet matches involve wrestlers competing in one-on-one matches, with the winner getting to face the next opponent.

When the last wrestler goes down, the last person standing is declared the winner.

In WWE 2K14, only three opponents could be selected, but fans are hoping there will be more in the upcoming game.

The usual Showcase mode is themed around 40 Years of Wrestlemania, allowing you to recreate classic moments from the show.

WWE 2K24 launches on March 8, 2024 for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.
