If you’ve ever booted up WWE 2K25 and thought, ‘Wait—why is there a random brown jacket in my locker room?’ you’re not alone. Patch 1.28 dropped this week, and what started as a quiet rollout quickly turned into a digital scavenger hunt worthy of a Royal Rumble surprise.

Dataminers didn’t just find a few bug fixes—they unearthed mysterious attires, fresh renders, and even hints that 2K might be lining up one more DLC push before the year closes.

Roman Reigns and the New Outfit Theory

Content Creator @WhatsTheStatus spotted new gloves and what appears to be a matching outfit set. Many believe this could signal a new Roman Reigns unlock, especially after noticing a new barricade Superman Punch animation added in this update. Fans have long referenced an unselectable comeback animation tied to Roman that’s been in the files for months, sparking talk that this might finally be its debut through either The Island or a Live Event reward.

Island Renders and Story Expansion

Fresh Island renders were uncovered by @WittyWitterson, pointing toward Chapter 5’s arrival. The new images and code lines hint that players may soon see new cutscenes or story missions added to The Island mode. Patch 1.28 also includes the Saturday Night Main Event Pack, and players have noticed that Penta’s WrestleMania 41 persona card has been added to Live Events with an IRL render. @WittyWitterson showcased the new Penta ’25 card, giving fans a first look at the model’s updated design and its connection to upcoming MyFACTION content.

Patch 1.28 also includes the Saturday Night Main Event Pack, Penta WM41 gear, and multiple new moves and animations to go along side Live Event unlocks.

What’s Next for WWE 2K25

According to discussions within the community and reports from @TPWSpodcast, the next major content drop is expected on November 14, when Superstar Super Pack IV arrives—potentially alongside additional MyFACTION cards and rewards. Chapter 5 of The Island is also anticipated around that time, setting up another major storyline continuation before year’s end.

While 2K hasn’t formally detailed the patch beyond DLC, fans have already pieced together a clear picture of what’s coming next. Between new cosmetics, DLC teases, and fan-led discoveries, Patch 1.28 keeps WWE 2K25’s post-launch momentum alive—and leaves players guessing just how much more 2K still has left up its sleeve.
