Let’s hope Season Five isn’t cursed.
2K announced today who the mystery character is for Season Five of WWE 2K26.
It is Danhausen…and he had a warning for the developers.
Danhausens power rating better be 106. https://t.co/mKD9R6uqj5

Here is when those seasons are set to launch. None has a time limit.
Ringside Pass Season 1: March 6
Ringside Pass Season 2: April (Before WrestleMania 42)
Ringside Pass Season 3: June
Ringside Pass Season 4: July
Ringside Pass Season 5: September
Ringside Pass Season 6: October
The DLC works differently than previous years as 2K has implemented a Ringside Pass, Battle Pass system.
In order to unlock rewards like new characters, players must play through the game, accumulate RXP points. There is a free track and a premium track. The free track includes 60 rewards to unlock across 40 tiers. The premium track includes an extra 60 rewards to unlock but in order to have the opportunity to do so, you have to purchase one of the premium editions of the game or pay for that track separately. Unfortunately, DLC characters are part of those premium rewards. There will be six seasons each with their own Ringside Pass.
Here is what you receive with each edition:
Standard Edition: You need to buy all six Ringside Passes.
King of Kings Edition: Only season one of the Ringside Pass is included.
Attitude Era Edition: The first four Ringside Passes are included.
The Monday Night War edition: Includes all six seasons.
Here is when those seasons are set to launch and the DLC characters that come with them. None of these seasons have a time limit. If you bought the standard edition of the game each DLC pack will cost you $9.99.
