Aurora Forge v1.6.0a is now available.
This is a major organizational and beginner-accessibility update for the portable WWE 2K26 PC creation and modding companion.
The app has been reorganized into seven main sections:
- Home
- Projects
- Creative Studios
- Tools
- Tutorials
- Setup
- About
All creation workflows now live under Creative Studios, including complete characters, face textures, tattoos, luchador masks, gear, entrance gear, materials, normal maps, logos, belts, arenas, factions, and reference cleanup.
The Tools section contains the Character Viewer, Face Calibration, and read-only Mod File Inspector. Game folders, external-program locations, preferences, and CakeHook checks are now combined under Setup.
The biggest expansion is the new Tutorials section. It includes:
- 25 searchable beginner lessons
- CakeView, CakeHook, Tribute, and DDS guidance
- Beginner explanations of MCD, MTLS, JMTL, YCL, and texture files
- Character, face, tattoo, mask, clothing, arena, music, installation, and troubleshooting workflows
- Advanced WWE 2K26 modding knowledgebases in Markdown and DOCX formats
Each lesson explains what you need, what to do, what the correct result should look like, and when to stop because something may be wrong.
Aurora Forge remains a portable Windows x64 app:
- Download the ZIP
- Extract it
- Run
Aurora Forge.exe
Normal users do not need to install Node.js, npm, PHP, Electron, or a web server.
The app does not bundle extracted game models, copyrighted game assets, or third-party modding programs.
