Empires & Puzzles Joins Forces with WWE for Epic Event

Empires & Puzzles is set to team up with the WWE for a brand-new event, blending the world of casual match-three gameplay with the high-energy spectacle of professional wrestling. Launching on May 26th, this collaboration merges the popular mobile puzzler with top WWE superstars, offering players a unique opportunity to challenge and recruit some of the most iconic names in the industry.

WWE has increasingly expanded its presence into the mobile gaming space in recent years, and this partnership with Empires & Puzzles marks yet another exciting crossover. Fans can look forward to facing off against—and eventually adding to their roster—superstars like Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley, and even current champion John Cena, making this a must-play event for both longtime wrestling fans and casual gamers alike.

The collaboration goes beyond just character skins. Players will also gain access to three new passive abilities inspired by wrestling archetypes: Striker, Technician, and Powerhouse. Additionally, a brand-new status effect—Grapple—has been introduced, allowing for deeper strategic gameplay. These mechanics complement the inclusion of Superstars' signature moves, such as Triple H’s devastating Pedigree, giving each character a unique flair that reflects their real-world personas.

Where's that referee...?
As you progress through the collab’s 10 stages of match-three combat, you’ll defeat and unlock each guest hero, gradually building your all-star team. Along the way, you'll earn exclusive rewards and get hands-on experience with each Superstar’s powerful signature abilities. With six full weeks to complete the event, there’s plenty of time to master the mechanics and immerse yourself in the world of wrestling-inspired gameplay.

While this crossover may not appeal to every player, it's a smart move from WWE to keep their top talent visible to a broader audience through a widely played title like Empires & Puzzles.
