WWE 2K21 is not happening, according to a new report - joneshaviculd62

WWE 2K21 has on the face of it been binned, owing to the lacklustre reception of WWE 2K20 and troubles that occurred "behind the scenes" (via Ringside seat News).

"I have detected from reliable sources and I in truth believe that WWE 2K21 has been cancelled. There will be zero game this year," said Justin Leeper, onetime writer of Road To WrestleMania modes for WWE entries in 2009, 2010, and 2011. Though its sales were non to be sniffed at, WWE 2K20 wasn't a shining star in developer Visual Concepts pate. It was the first WWE game to non be developed by Yuke's since the start of the series in 2000, and it was unfortunate that the new developer shipped a game damaged with bugs.

Notably, there was nary announcement for a new WWE back during Wrestlemania. In a recent financial bid, publisher 2K Games stated that WWE 2K20 "did not meet our expectations, both in terms of sales and caliber," only that there is "a substantial long-terminus opportunity to grow up our WWE 2K series by improving the quality of the game." Combining these two facts collectively, information technology seems like the companies are taking time to identify what went wrong with WWE 2K20 you said it to obviate these errors in a future accounting entry. Leeper qualified that the cancellation of WWE 2K21 is "not a bad thing, that's a good thing."

He said that missing out a year in the serial English hawthorn refresh and regenerate the experience of a WWE game. Helium also iterated the bear upon of the pandemic on the development of a possible WWE 2K21, and expected that employees and resources are stretched thinly, like many an other industries perpendicular now. Still, Leeper also mentioned that 2K Games is working with a "different kind of game developer" to deliver a "different rather WWE game" during this class.

Neither developer nor publisher has affirmed any of the above, so we mustiness take the report with a tweet of salt. We will keep you in the loop once we hear an official update.
