WWE 2K26 will feature a massive 400+ wrestler roster, from Wrestlemania headliners all the way to fresh NXT debuts. Of course, there are still going to be a ton of mode-specific unlockables, with MyRise offering a boatload of unique rewards. The mode is set to bring about quite a few surprises, including the return of The Archetype. The presence of more recent characters in the story gives it a more contemporary feel than previous versions.
This time around, the potential for character-driven branching is higher than ever. Interactions with Paul Heyman’s new clients, Breaker and Grace, dictate your career trajectory. The characters have a purpose; they introduce Division-based storylines where your reputation can help unlock unique arenas and legendary arenas. The game mode seems really interesting, and the unlockable character list is just as interesting. Let’s take a quick look at some of the WWE 2K26 MyRise characters.
What To Expect From MyRise
MyRise has a lot to offer this time around, and that starts with its amazing story premise. Players control a custom Superstar dubbed “The Archetype”, returning to WWE after an absence of two years. The story kicks off with a major setback, which you later recover from. The mode also includes separate Men’s and Women’s paths with unique rivalries, cinematics, and championship pursuits.
Paul Heyman is the main manipulative advisor booking your path. Other foes include Jey Uso, Jacob Fatu, Naomi, and Roxanne Perez. MyRise has fully integrated the expansion of WWE 2K25’s Live Events. You can complete them to advance your career, earn rewards, and track performance through star ratings. The overall experience emphasizes choice-driven replayability with reduced grind, voice-acted cinematics, and authentic WWE drama. So far, the game mode looks to be really exciting.
