Freshly released gameplay clips are showcasing the exciting reintroduction of classic match stipulations like Casket Matches and Special Guest Referee mode in WWE 2K24. Just a few weeks away from its launch, the upcoming installment in the WWE 2K series is creating buzz with its array of characters and gameplay modes.
Among the exciting features making a comeback are the notorious Casket Matches, where one wrestler must secure victory by confining their adversary inside a coffin. Similarly, Ambulance Matches culminate in one contender being loaded into an emergency vehicle after a fierce, unrestrained fight. Additionally, WWE 2K24 is reintroducing Special Guest Referee matches, allowing a wrestler to officiate and enforce rules in their own style.
Several influencers have had early access to WWE 2K24 before its March 8 release, sharing thrilling footage of the highly anticipated match types. For instance, YouTuber Revelleution has uploaded gameplay videos featuring the Casket and Special Guest Referee matches. The Casket Match between Isla Dawn and Tiffany Stratton unfolds with a dramatic entrance of the casket and a brief rule explanation. During the match, each wrestler strives to seal their opponent inside the coffin through a button-pressing challenge.

Revelleution's content also includes a Special Guest Referee match from WWE 2K24, with Dakota Kai overseeing a showdown between Bayley and Iyo Sky, a preview of their upcoming WrestleMania clash. As Dakota Kai, players manage pinfall counts, submissions, and rule enforcement, with the option to intervene in the action at the risk of disqualification.
The return of Special Guest Referee matches since WWE 2K14 and the revival of Casket Matches last seen in WWE 2K15 marks WWE 2K24's commitment to diverse gameplay. With these classic match types alongside the 40 Years of WrestleMania Showcase and enhanced MyGM and MyFaction modes, players can soon immerse themselves in enthralling casket confrontations and authoritative officiating when WWE 2K24 hits the shelves next month.
