After a bit of a hiatus from the gaming world, Bray Wyatt's eerie alter ego is making a triumphant return.
Sure, Bray Wyatt himself popped up in WWE 2K23's DLC, but let's be real, it's The Fiend that really gets the crowd going. Now, we all know that The Fiend had a bit of a rocky start, what with his appearances in WWE 2K20 and WWE Battlegrounds, but hey, every champ has their off days, right? But fear not, because The Fiend is back and ready to wreak havoc once again in the virtual ring.
For those who've been following Wyatt's journey, you'll know that his return to WWE in 2022 brought with it a new persona, signaling the end of The Fiend era. And with Wyatt's untimely passing in 2023, fans were left clamoring for his various incarnations to be included in WWE 2K23. Sadly, only his most recent character made the cut. But fear not, faithful fans, because WWE 2K24 has heard your cries and The Fiend is officially back in business!
The hype is real, folks! WWE 2K24 just dropped a bombshell by confirming The Fiend's return to the game, and let me tell you, the fans are losing their minds! The official Twitter account blessed us with a video showcasing The Fiend's spine-chilling entrance, and let's just say, it's giving us all the feels.
Scrolling through the comments section is like taking a trip down memory lane, with fans paying heartfelt tributes to the legendary Bray Wyatt while also cheering for The Fiend's epic comeback. Sure, there were a few naysayers asking about mask variations and critiquing the entrance lights, but hey, you can't please everyone, right?
Most of the reactions, though? They're all about thanking 2K for bringing back The Fiend and hyping up his revamped character model. From the hair to the overall vibe, it's clear that this isn't just a copy-paste job from WWE 2K20. Nope, this is a whole new level of Fiend-dom, and we're here for it!
Now, let's just hope they tweak those entrance lights before the official release. After all, we need The Fiend's entrance to be as bone-chilling as ever, am I right?
Now, if you're a true WWE aficionado, you'll remember The Fiend's legendary showdown with John Cena at WrestleMania 36 in that mind-bending Firefly Fun House match. Talk about a trip down memory lane! And let's not forget his clash with Randy Orton at WrestleMania 37, although he was rocking that burnt mask vibe back then.
But here's the kicker: this official reveal of The Fiend for WWE 2K24 doesn't feature that burnt mask gimmick. Nope, it's pure, unadulterated Fiend goodness! So naturally, fans are crossing their fingers and hoping that this means we'll get to relive the magic of the Firefly Fun House match in the game's 40 Years of WrestleMania mode.
As WWE 2K24's release draws nearer, the excitement is reaching fever pitch! Fans are eagerly anticipating what this new installment will bring to the table, especially after the success of WWE 2K23. And let's not forget the nostalgia trip that was WWE 2K14's epic 30 Years of WrestleMania mode.
Now, while WWE 2K14 gave us an incredible roster filled with legends from the '80s and '90s, fans are hoping for something fresh and exciting in WWE 2K24. Sure, revisiting some classic matches is always a blast, but we're crossing our fingers that 2K doesn't just hit us with a nostalgia overload.
The reveal of The Fiend and even Muhammad Ali's WWE 2K debut has got fans buzzing with speculation. Could this mean we'll see some brand-new matches added to the franchise? The possibilities are endless, and the anticipation is real!
