With the launch of the new “Fearless Pack” DLC for WWE 2K25, Paul Heyman shared his thoughts on the addition of the iconic ECW legend New Jack to the game. In a recent interview, Heyman described this as a significant milestone for the entire video game industry.
While promoting both the game and Metro, Heyman praised the choice to feature New Jack, emphasizing that his impact goes well beyond wrestling and influences video game culture as well.
“This is a landmark moment for the gaming industry as a whole,” Heyman stated. “New Jack’s influence on sports entertainment and pro wrestling culture is undeniable, and his effect on video games is just as real. Do you really think the creators of Grand Theft Auto haven’t been inspired by New Jack?”
The “Fearless Pack” DLC launched today alongside WWE 2K25 on Nintendo Switch. New Jack’s in-game character faithfully reflects his ECW persona, complete with his signature theme song and a shopping cart loaded with weapons during matches. The pack also features Bull Nakano, Penta, Jordynne Grace, and celebrity guest KSI.
Fan Take: This news excites WWE fans as it celebrates the legacy of a legendary, controversial figure like New Jack, bringing gritty ECW vibes into the mainstream gaming world. It could signal a fresh embrace of wrestling’s edgier past and influence how future storylines and characters are portrayed in the sport.
