Summary
Anything can happen in the world of professional wrestling, and oneWWE 2K24player recently chanced across an unusual glitch during a seemingly ordinary match between Sheamus and Gunther. Released back in March,WWE 2K24has been praised by many as one of the best entries in quite some time, thanks in no small part to its array of gameplay modes like the WrestleMania-centric 2K Showcase, two MyRise campaigns, and improved MyFaction mode.
WWE 2Kplayers have also seen their fair share of bugs and glitches during matches over the years, especially in the notoriously bug-riddenWWE 2K20. In that particular entry, objects would inexplicably phase through the ring, the arena would suddenly start shaking mid-match, and character models would be warped beyond recognition. Whilelater entries likeWWE 2K22have smoothed out the worst of these issues, players have still encountered strange glitches while performing flying leaps off the top turnbuckle or wrestling in a steel cage match.
Reddit user Melodic_Cook60 recently chanced across an incredibly strange glitch while playingWWE 2K24, one that they soon shared a video clip of on r/WWEGames. They were wrestling against Gunther as Sheamus, and about to unleash the Celtic Warrior’s finishing move on thereigning WWE World Heavyweight championwhen their character suddenly froze mid-attack. Sheamus seemingly held Gunther’s arms in place as the camera and in-game commentators acted as if a standard wrestling move was being performed, with Gunther apparently surrendering the match after a brief time in this unorthodox hold.
WWE 2K24 Match Ends With Unusual Glitch Attack
In the comment section of the Reddit post this clip was shared on, users humorously compared Sheamus’ new “move” with the iconic moment fromTitanicwhere Jack holds Rose at the bow of the ship at sunset, with one of them even calling it “The Titanic Lock.” Others note that they would rather haveamusingWWE 2Kglitcheslike this instead of more serious ones that cost them a match, such as an opponent successfully performing a move despite the player hitting a reversal.
Glitches like this are par for the course in theWWE 2Kseries, which will be getting a new installment sometime next year. There is no word onWWE 2K25’s exact launch date, but wrestling fans think that an official reveal will come during next January’s Royal Rumble event. While the new game will likely be more technically polished thanWWE 2K24, players could see a few more surprising glitches like Sheamus’s new cinema-inspired finisher crop up within the squared circle.
