Summary
- WWE 2K24 is teasing the return of Mick Foley's Dude Love as a playable character in the game.

- While there is a low possibility of Foley appearing in the 40 Years of WrestleMania mode due to Edge's defection to AEW, there is still a chance that surprises and alternate models for other characters will be included in the game.
WWE 2K24 has just teased the return of Mick Foley's Dude Love to the roster. With WWE 2K24's release date drawing near, more details and information are slowly being unveiled. As with every year, the game's playable characters and who made the cut are among the questions that fans have. While Mick Foley's various incarnations have mostly appeared in one form or another in past games, Dude Love's last appearance in WWE 2K23 was locked to the controversial MyFaction mode.
While WWE 2K24 is focused on the 40 Years of WrestleMania, 2K had mentioned that they were introducing several improvements. One of the things teased in recent interviews was having various models that were exclusive to other modes become available for use in the base roster. As WWE 2K23's MyFaction mode has amassed quite a number of alternate and unique models, it's not a surprise to see that some of those may be brought back for this year's incarnation of the game.
WWE 2K24 Confirms Surprise Guest Character
The latest WWE 2K24 trailer reveals that a legendary special guest from WrestleMania's early days is being included as a playable character.
In a timely Twitter post shared by WWE 2K24 on Valentine's Day, fans received their first visual of Dude Love's in-game model. The model looks better than ever with what seems to be some improvements overall in terms of hair and accessories. Many in the comments section expressed their excitement in the hopes that the reveal would signal the return of the three faces of Foley in WWE games. And while the said models did make their way to WWE 2K23's MyFaction, WWE 2K18 was actually the last game wherein all three alter egos of Mick Foley were included in the base game.
Who Are The Three Faces of Foley?
- Mankind
- Cactus Jack
- Dude Love
Many people hope that the recent revelation will lead to the confirmation of both Cactus Jack and Mankind, with some even hoping for a basic fourth Mick Foley model. Unfortunately, there's a very low possibility that Foley will make an appearance in this year's 40 Years of WrestleMania. While he was included in WWE 2K14's 30 Years of WrestleMania, Edge's defection to AEW would make that impossible.
Still, with 2K promising to introduce more improvements and surprises this year, there's a possibility that many of the WWE alumni not signed to other companies could make an appearance. Previously, it was also announced that Bray Wyatt's The Fiend would be returning to the game. In a subsequent Showcase trailer that followed, Bray Wyatt's Firefly Fun House version was also shown, implying that surprising alternate models for other characters would also be available. Fans may have to wait and see if all of Mick Foley's alter egos will make the base game once WWE 2K24 comes out in March 2024.
