WWE 2K24 Confirms Unexpected Showcase Mode Match Count
It's been confirmed that WWE 2K24's Showcase mode will have 21 matches total. Showcase is one of the WWE 2K franchise's flagship game modes, and so it's no surprise that it's coming back for WWE 2K24.

For one, WWE 2K24's 21 Showcase Matches is more than the 12 matches for the Rey Mysterio Showcase and the 14 matches for the John Cena Showcase, so it's already considerably more content than fans have gotten from the mode in the last two years. Secondly, the WWE 2K franchise has already had a similar WrestleMania-themed Showcase mode in a previous game.
