WWE 2K24 has quietly rolled out an update that significantly enhances The Rock's character model. The release of patch 1.05 not only fixed numerous game-breaking bugs but also focused on improving the visual fidelity of characters, particularly The Rock's model accuracy.
The launch of WWE 2K24 in March 2024 was well-received, praised for its advancements from the previous WWE 2K titles. While modern Superstars were faithfully recreated, legends' models seemed to miss the mark, creating a disparity in the game's visual representation.
A recent unannounced update surprised players when Twitter user WhatsTheStatus unveiled the revamped 2001 model of The Rock from the Showcase mode. This enhancement coincides with The Rock's prominent role in WrestleMania 40, sparking excitement among fans eager to use the character in various gameplay scenarios.
Despite the positive reception to these model updates, the developers chose to keep these improvements under wraps, possibly to avoid external pressure. The discrepancies between in-game models and real-life counterparts have been a point of contention within the gaming community, drawing criticism from both players and even WWE personalities like Bayley.
