2K Games has confirmed the full lineup for the WWE 2K26 Ringside Pass. A total of 24 additional characters will be released in six waves through October 2026. The roster includes high-profile returns like the Hardy Boyz and recent newcomers like Danhausen. A massive expansion.
The DLC roadmap places a strong emphasis on the Attitude Era and classic tag teams. Fans can especially look forward to the return of Matt and Jeff Hardy in Season 4. Despite their current commitment to TNA Wrestling, they will be part of the game, which this year focuses on the Attitude Era.
Also announced are the "Natural Disasters" (Earthquake and Typhoon), which will conclude the DLC year in Season 6 in October. Season 2, which will be released in April just in time for WrestleMania 42, will also see the addition of the members of "Demolition" (Ax, Smash, and Crush).
New signings and the women's division
With Danhausen, 2K is integrating a recent addition who only recently made his WWE debut at the Elimination Chamber event. He will appear in Season 5 (September) alongside Brie Bella, thus completing the Bella Twins in the game. The DLC waves will also bring back former Divas Champions: Kelly Kelly is already available in Season 2 (April), while Torrie Wilson will follow in Season 3 (June).
The distribution schedule envisions monthly to bimonthly updates. While buyers of the premium editions have had access to the main game and the first wave of DLC (including El Hijo del Vikingo) since March 6th, the global standard release will take place on March 13th. The Ringside Pass includes four characters per season.
