What Is WWE 2K25's The Island, and Why Is It Cause for Concern?

WWE 2K25's The Island is a bold move. And one I'm not completely sold on.

WWE 2K25 has finally been revealed, and already, many of the game’s new features have been brought to light. But arguably the biggest new feature highlighted is the debut of The Island. Though the reveal trailer didn’t cover the mode in too much detail, some aspects of it have been revealed by 2K since the trailer’s launch. And it can be compared to another mode seen in the NBA 2K series.
