WWE 2K19 (2018) was widely regarded as a strong return to form for the 2K series after mixed reception to earlier entries. AJ Styles graced the cover, and the game emphasized accessibility, faster gameplay, and a more fun presentation. It was released on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

The popular Showcase mode returned, this time focusing on Daniel Bryan’s career, from his indie days to his WWE comeback. New modes like “Towers” added unique challenges, while Universe and Career Modes were refined. Customization remained a highlight, with fans creating wrestlers, arenas, and storylines to expand the experience.

WWE 2K19 is remembered as one of the last universally praised WWE games before 2K20’s troubled launch, striking a balance between content, gameplay, and fan service.
