WWE 2K21 Cancelled?
There has been a lot of speculation as to whether or not WWE 2K21 is going to be released. The last WWE game that was released was WWE 2K20 and it was a bit of a disappointment for fans. WWE 2K21 was supposed to be released in October 2020, but there has been no confirmation from WWE or 2K Games.
Reasons for cancellation
The main reason why WWE 2K21 was cancelled is because the game was not up to par with 2K’s standards. The game had too many glitches and wasn’t running smoothly. 2K decided it would be better to cancel the game and start from scratch than to release a subpar product.
WWE 2K21 was also cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic delayed the development of the game and made it impossible for 2K to meet their deadline. This is the first time in WWE 2K history that a game has been cancelled due to pandemic-related issues.
It’s possible that WWE 2K21 will be released in 2022, but this has not been confirmed by 2K.
What this means for the future of the WWE 2K series
Although WWE 2K21 has been officially cancelled, this does not mean that the WWE 2K series is dead. In fact, the series will live on, albeit in a different form.
With the cancellation of WWE 2K21, it is clear that Take-Two and Visual Concepts are no longer interested in pursuing the traditional yearly release cadence for the WWE 2K series. This is likely due to the declining sales of WWE 2K20, which was the least successful entry in the series to date.
So what does this mean for the future of the WWE 2K series? It is likely that Take-Two and Visual Concepts will pursue a more staggered release schedule for future entries in the series. This could involve releasing a new game every two years or so, or even adopting a live service model similar to that of NBA 2K20.
Only time will tell what the future holds for the WWE 2K series, but one thing is for sure: it is not dead.
Our Take
Yes, there will be a WWE 2K21. There is no doubt about it. The WWE 2K series is one of the most popular gaming series out there. Plus, with the current pandemic situation, the WWE will need all the revenue it can get. So, there is no way that there won’t be a WWE 2K21.
Should WWE 2K21 be cancelled?
Every year, there is a new WWE game released in October, just in time for the holiday season. However, with the COVID-19 pandemic still raging on and no end in sight, many people are wondering if WWE 2K21 will be cancelled.
While it is still too early to say for sure, there are several factors that could lead to the cancellation of WWE 2K21. Firstly, the pandemic has disrupted the yearly release schedule for many video games, including several sports titles. Secondly, the current situation has made it difficult for game developers to work on new projects, as many are working from home.
Of course, even if WWE 2K21 is cancelled, there is always the possibility that it will be released at a later date. However, with the current state of affairs, it is looking increasingly likely that we will have to wait until next year for our next dose of WWE gaming action.
What would you like to see in WWE 2K21?
There is a lot of speculation as to whether or not WWE 2K21 will be released this year. There are several things that would need to happen in order for WWE 2K21 to be released this year. Firstly, WWE would need to sign a new contract with 2K Games. Secondly, 2K Games would need to create a new development studio to work on the game. And finally, WWE 2K21 would need to be announced by either WWE or 2K Games.
WWE’s current contract with 2K Games expires in April 2021. There is no word on whether or not the contract will be renewed. If WWE does not renew their contract with 2K Games, then it is unlikely that WWE 2K21 will be released this year.
2K Games currently does not have a development studio working on WWE games. In order for WWE 2K21 to be released this year, 2K Games would need to create a new development studio or bring back Yuke’s, the previous development studio for the WWE games.
WWE 2K20 was only announced one month prior to its release date. If WWE and/or 2K Game announce WWE 2K21 more than one month before its release date, it is possible that we could see the game this year. However, if the game is not announced until closer to its release date, it is unlikely that we will see the game this year.
As of right now, there is no word from either WWE or 2K Games about whether or not we will see WWE 2k21 this year.
